A single bench of Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana has been appointed to go through 12 writs registered against the Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli for his recent move of dissolving the House of Representatives.
The writs were registered at the Supreme Court against the decision naming the Office of the President, Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers and House Speaker as defendants.
Advocate Prabesh KC had registered a writ on Tuesday on behalf of the members of dissolved House of Representatives including Dev Prasad Gurung, Krishna Bhakta Pokharel, Shashi Shrestha and Ram Kuamri Jhankri while other legal practitioners also objected to the executive’s move at the apex court.
The writs registered so far to this effect have demanded revoking of all the decisions and actions carried out in regard to the dissolvement of the House of Representatives as per the Article 133 (2 and 3) of the Nepal’s Constitution.
It has been acclaimed that President Bidya Devi Bhandari had dissolved the House of Representatives at the recommendation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.
Twelve out of 13 writs opposing the decision of the House of Representatives dissolvement have been registered in the general bench. The hearing on the writs is beginning today. The writ registered on the constitutional bench has been scheduled for hearing on coming Friday.
