KATHMANDU: The Supreme Court has sent all writ petitions challenging the Oli government’s decision to dissolve the House of Representatives to the Constitutional Bench.
The single bench of Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana heard all 12 writs petitions — eleven filed on Monday, one on Tuesday — and sent them to the constitutional bench.
Now all twelve writs will be heard in the constitutional bench of the Supreme Court on Friday along with another writ for the same already registered in the bench.
Constitutional bench of the SC is led by the Chief Justice and four other justices chosen by the CJ.
The eleven petitioners that had filed the writ on Monday argued that the prime minister does not have the power to dissolve the HoR and his recommendation to do so on Sunday was unconstitutional.
