Attorney general flounders as he defends Oli s House dissolution move Kathmandu Post
Kathmandu, Feb. 3 After advocates pleading on behalf of the petitioners who have challenged Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli s House dissolution move were done, starting Monday lawyers defending the government started their arguments before the Constitution Bench.
Attorney General Agni Kharel, as the chief counsel to the government, is leading the team of defending lawyers.
Kharel, however, floundered on both Monday and Tuesday, as he tried to justify Oli s House dissolution decision. He failed to provide concrete constitutional grounds for doing so and instead continued to offer political reasons for the act.
