Kathmandu, Februation 23
Nepal’s Supreme Court has reinstated the House of Representatives, the lower house of the bicameral parliament, by quashing a decision of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.
Concluding the two-month-long hearing, a constitutional bench led by Chief Justice Cholendra Shamsher Rana issued the verdict on Tuesday late afternoon.
The bench consisting of CJ Rana and justices Bishwambhar Prasad Shrestha, Anil Kumar Sinha, Sapana Pradhan Malla, and Tej Bahadur KC has ordered the government to summon the House session within 13 days of today. It has been learned that all the justices were on the same page about the unconstitutionality of Oli’s decision.
