Constitutional Bench asks for reasons for House dissolution, seeks amicus curiae Kathmandu Post
Kathmandu, Dec. 26 Indications are that it will be a while before the Supreme Court will give a verdict on the constitutionality of the KP Sharma Oli government s Sunday move of dissolving the House of Representatives.
A hearing on 13 writs against President Bidya Devi Bhandari s dissolution of the House on the recommendation of the Oli Cabinet began on Friday, but the next hearing is scheduled for January 6.
The Constitutional Bench ended Friday s hearing after listening to opening remarks of a handful of lawyers and making four significant orders. These include a show cause notice against the Office of the President and the government demanding a written justification for their move to dissolve the House.
