Flouting party discipline against Constitution: senior advocate Nepal

KATHMANDU: Senior advocate Mahesh Nepal has argued that Constitution had not allowed activities that are against party discipline. He contended it while pleading in favor of the dissolution of House of Representatives (HoR) at the constitutional bench comprising Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana and senior justices Dipak Kumar Karki, Mira Khadka, Ishwor Prasad Khatiwada, and Dr Ananda Mohan Bhattarai.

“Article 76 (5) of the constitution has mentioned about party system,” he said, adding, “Suppose a new government is formed with support for another party candidate, how long does it run? If the party discipline is not maintained, action is taken.”
