Court bars sale or transfer of Nimsdai’s helicopter
Summary
The Kathmandu District Court has barred the sale or transfer of a helicopter linked to Nirmal Purja’s company after it failed to pay compensation for a house destroyed in an explosion in Kapan. The case has been upheld by the Patan High Court and is now being pursued in enforcement proceedings, with the company challenging the rulings at the Supreme Court.
Key Points
- The Kathmandu District Court barred the sale or transfer of a helicopter owned by Mustang Helicopter Pvt Ltd over unpaid compensation in a house-destruction case.
- The compensation stems from a 2022 explosion in Kapan that destroyed the house of Tanka Ghising and Dalmu Kittar Ghising.
- The district court awarded Rs114 million, the Patan High Court upheld the ruling, and the case is now in enforcement and Supreme Court challenge.
- Public discussion had suggested the helicopter might be sold after Nirmal Purja’s death in Pakistan.
