![Prem Chalaune considered the court as the last option for him to get justice. But the government's actions have effectively obstructed his path to the judiciary.](https://english.onlinekhabar.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Prem_Chalaune.jpg)
Kathmandu, June 23
Prem Chalaune, an assistant professor of Sociology at Tribhuvan University, has suspended his hunger strike.
Protesting the government withdrawing his case, Chalaune had been fasting for the past five days in front of the Vice Chancellor’s office at Tribhuvan University.
The Supreme Court, on Thursday, issued an interim order telling the government not to withdraw Prem Chalaune’s case.
The apex court has asked the government to present the reasons behind withdrawing Chalaune’s case.
Chalaune had gone to the apex court asking it to annul the decision taken by the government. He said that the government’s decision to withdraw the case was not logical and was of a nature to protect criminals, and demanded that the government’s decision should be stopped immediately.
Chalaune was beaten by a gang of men including Hari Acharya of the Nepali Congress-affiliated Nepal Students’ Union (NSU) on October 6, 2020.
