KATHMANDU, July 30: Four members of Parliament (MPs) from the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) have filed a writ petition at the Patan High Court against the decision of the Election Commission (EC) to fine them Rs 15,000 each for not disclosing the details of their election expenses on Sunday.

MPs Biraj Bhakta Shrestha, Shishir Khanal, Ganesh Parajuli and Sobita Gautam of the RSP filed a writ petition against the EC’s decision. Patan High Court Registrar Thagindra Kattel said that the writ petition is in the process of being registered.

The EC fined more than Rs 2,400 candidates for not submitting the report of the expenditure details of the House of Representatives and Provincial Assembly elections that were held on November 20.

The EC issued a press release on July 25 and released the list of candidates saying that they had not provided information about the expenditure details. The EC had decided to fine 1,037 candidates of the House of Representatives and 1,298 candidates of the Provincial Assemblies, including RSP MPs Shrestha, Khanal, Parajuli and Gautam.

Despite claiming that they had already published the details of their election expenses in social media, the candidates protested after being fined by the EC.
