The High Court affirmed the Trashigang District Court’s judgment convicting Tshering Yangki of battery and trespassing during the incident that happened on April 26 last year. The court passed the judgment today.
Tshering Yangki has appealed to the High Court earlier this year after the District and Dungkhang Courts in Trashigang found her guilty of battery and trespassing. She was sentenced to a concurrent prison term of 18 months and was also ordered to pay more than Nu 260,000 as compensation to the victim.
According to sources, Tshering Yangki intends to appeal to the Supreme Court.
