Legal Issues
On 17 March 2026, CPN-UML candidate Pradip Kumar Katuwal filed a petition against Karki, claiming that Karki was listed as a defaulter four times and remained blacklisted as a promoter-director of credit firm Biju Cooperative, until February 2026, but concealed this information while filing his candidacy for 2026 General Election.[6] On 8 April 2026, Supreme court noted that the defendant had already taken the oath as MP, and the case will proceed to a final hearing after written responses are submitted.[7]
