Kathmandu — The Supreme Court has ordered that industrialist Shekhar Golchha be produced before the court within 24 hours.

According to Supreme Court spokesperson and co-registrar Arjun Prasad Koirala, a single bench of Justice Nripadhwaj Niroula issued the order on Tuesday in response to a habeas corpus petition, directing the concerned authorities to present him before the court within 24 hours along with the case file related to the extension of his remand.
