Kathmandu. The Supreme Court (SC) has issued an interim order not to investigate into the money laundering case against businessman Ajay Sumargi Parajuli.

A single bench of Justice Bal Krishna Dhakal issued the order not to proceed ahead with the investigation on the writ petition filed by entrepreneur Sumargi.

The written text released by the court today reads, “No action shall be taken against the petitioner in violation of the final order of this court until the present petition is finally settled.” ”

Entrepreneur Sumargi had filed a writ petition demanding to stop the investigation saying he was being investigated several times. Two weeks ago, the Department of Money Laundering Investigation had decided to freeze Sumargi’s passport. Entrepreneur Sumargi had gone to the Supreme Court against this decision.
