January 17: The Special Court on Wednesday issued an order to release former minister Bikram Pandey, who is also the chief of Kalika Construction Company, after posting a bail amount of Rs 40 million.

According to Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS), a divisional bench of Special Court justices Baburam Regmi, Chandiraj Dhakal and Narayan Prasad Pokharel issued the order to release Pandey on bail.

The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) on December 7, 2018 had registered a corruption case against 21 persons including Pandey at the Special Court. The graft case was filed against Pandey and others for carrying out sub-standard works in the Sikta Irrigation Project.

The anti-graft body registered the case against Pandey on charge of doling out Rs 2.137 billion, demanding penalty of the same amount of money and two years of jail term.
