The Supreme Court has issued an order to produce businessman Shekhar Golchha in the court within 24 hours.

The apex court ordered the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of the Nepal Police to produce Golchha, who is in police custody, before the court within 24 hours.

A team of the Nepal Police Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) detained Golchaa, a resident of Nagarjun Municipality-8, from Naxal, Kathmandu on Thursday. 

Golchha's wife, Sima Golchha, filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court on Monday, alleging that her husband is being detained illegally.

Hearing the writ petition, a single bench of Justice Nripadhwaj Niraula issued an order to submit a written response through the Attorney General's Office within 24 hours.

Senior advocate Ramesh Prasad Dhital and advocates Pankaj Kumar Karna and Suryaraj Dahal argued on behalf of Golchha.
