The Nepal Supreme Court has stayed the Balen Shah government's controversial decision to levy custom duty on daily essential goods worth over 100 rupees brought from India. A bench comprising Justice Hari Prasad Phuyal and Justice Dev Prasad Dhungana issued the interim order following a writ petition. The court directed the Ministry of Finance and the Customs Department to stop tax collection on daily items for common citizens until a final verdict is reached, providing relief to small traders and border residents. https://www.lokmat.com/international/nepals-supreme-court-deals-big-blow-to-balen-shah-government-prime-ministers-arbitrary-decision-quashed-a-a1013/ #creator program
