Supreme Court Orders Gandaki Province Government Not to Make Long-Term Decisions

Kathmandu. The Supreme Court has issued an interim order to the Gandaki Province government not to make any decisions on matters of long-term significance. The order was issued by a bench of Justice Shrikant Paudel in response to a writ filed by Lilabahadur Thapa.

The writ was filed citing the non-implementation of the provision in Article 188 (2) of the Constitution of Nepal, which requires the Chief Minister to seek a vote of confidence within 30 days. The court, considering the sensitivity and balance of convenience as per the petitioner's request, has issued an order in the name of the Chief Minister of Gandaki Province not to make, do, or cause to be done any decision or action on matters of long-term significance until the final verdict of the writ.
