The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that murder convict Balkrishna Dhungel, a UCPN (Maoist) leader, can- not be granted clemency and reiterated its previous order issued in 2010 to imprison him.The former Maoist law- maker was found guilty of killing Ujjan Kumar Shrestha of Okhaldhunga in 1998.The constitutional bench comprising Chief Justice Kalyan Shrestha and Justices Sushila Karki, Baidhyanath Upadhyay, Gopal Parajuli and Om Prakash Mishra on Thursday issued a mandamus order in the name of the Office of the President and the Office of Prime Minister and Council of Ministers not to grant amnesty to the murder convict, citing lack of law for pardon as provisioned by the new constitution.The bench has noted that Dhungel never surrendered as per the SC order and that the process to implement the verdict was never carried out.The Baburam Bhattarai- led government in 2011 had forwarded Dhungel’s name for presidential clemency. Ujjan’s sister Sabitri had moved the apex court, seek- ing annulment of the then government’s decision.
