Special Court Summons CIAA Expert In Teramox Case

 

Kathmandu: The Special Court has ordered the summoning of the expert who prepared the report on behalf of the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) in the case related to the purchase of the Teramox (Telecommunication Traffic Monitoring and Fraud Control System).

On Sunday, a bench comprising judges Narayan Prasad Poudel and Hemant Rawal directed that CIAA expert Keshav Gyawali be summoned for deposition on 8 January 2026.

In legal terms, this process is referred to as examination. On that day, lawyers representing the defendants will question Gyawali. Gyawali is a former employee of UTL, whose license was later revoked. The CIAA has engaged him as an expert in several information technology-related cases at the Special Court, including those related to the Mobile Device Management System (MDMS).

The CIAA filed the Teramox-related corruption case at the Special Court in June last year against 18 individuals, including former minister Mohan Bahadur Basnet. Basnet, a leader of the Nepali Congress, along with former Nepal Telecommunication Authority chairpersons Digambar Jha and Purushottam Khanal, 14 other individuals, and two companies, have been named as defendants.

According to the charge sheet, the CIAA has claimed that alleged irregularities in the Teramox procurement process caused a loss of Rs 3.218 billion to the state.
