SC order delegitimizes UML’s 10th general organizing committee

KATHMANDU: The Supreme Court (SC) has refused to give legitimacy to the 10th general convention organizing committee of the CPN-UML. At the same time, UML has to return to May 16, 2018, as demanded by the disgruntled faction led by senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal.

A single bench of Justice Prakash Man Singh Raut has refused to give legitimacy to the UML’s 10th National General Convention Organizing Committee as a central committee in a writ filed against the dismissal of four floor-crossing leaders of Karnali Province. The SC also reinstated the parliamentarian status of the expelled lawmakers namely Prakash Jwala, Nanda Singh Budha, Amar Bahadur Thapa and Kurmaraj Shahi.
