A total of 1,077 cases are still pending in the district court in Tanahun. The court ruled that the cases were still pending due to the government's bans, restrictions, and lockdowns on coronavirus infection prevention and control.
As the risk of infections has decreased, the issue has accelerated. According to Harish Chandra Gautam, Information Officer at the District Court, Tanahun, 499 out of a total of 1,576 cases, 959 transferred and 617 newly registered last year, have been dismissed.
