Darchula Headteacher Death Case: High Court Orders Release of Eight Accused on Bail

The High Court Dipayal, Mahendranagar bench has ordered the release on bail of eight people who were detained in connection with the death of Baldev Singh Dhami, headteacher of Sampal Secondary School in Darchula’s Byas Rural Municipality-4.

The eight had previously been sent to custody by the Darchula District Court to face further proceedings in the case. The High Court has now overturned that detention order and directed that all eight be released on bail.

A joint bench of High Court judges Matrika Prasad Bhandari and Giriraj Gautam issued the order.

Two defendants, Parmananda Bhatta and Dalidatta Bhatta, have been ordered to post bail of Rs 200,000 each in the case involving alleged abetment of suicide.
