Constitutional Bench hearing petitions on HoR dissolution case from today

Kathmandu - Hearing will take place in the Constitutional Bench continuously from today on the writ petitions registered at the Supreme Court against the dissolution of the House of Representatives. The Bench comprising Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JBR and Justices Bishwombhar Prasad Shrestha, Anil Kumar Sinha, Sapana Malla and Tej Bahadur KC on Friday turned down the lawyers' demand that the writ petitions be sent to an extended full bench.

The Bench contended that since the issue needs serious constitutional interpretation, the petitions need not be sent to an extended full bench and the Constitutional Bench would conduct the regular hearing on the writs against the House dissolution.
