Supreme Court delays passing verdicts after giving interim orders

On June 6, 2019 the then KP Sharma Oli government decided to merge Sagarnath Forest Development Project with the Timber Corporation of Nepal. The government of Madhes Province, earlier Province 2, challenged the decision at the Supreme Court, arguing that the federal government had breached the constitutional jurisdiction of the province.
