By TRN Online, Kathmandu, Aug. 27: Hearing on Mohammad Aftab Alam's case has been postponed.

The hearing was scheduled to take place today in a joint bench of Justices Prakashman Singh Raut and Prakash Kumar Dhungana.

Baburam Dahal, spokesperson at the SC, said that the hearing was postponed as demanded by Alam's law practitioner.

Alam has been accused of claiming dozens of lives in a bomb blast in Rajpur, Rautahat on April 9, 2008.
