The House of Representatives, dissolved under Prime Minister Manmohan Adhikari, was overturned by the decision of Bhadra 12, 2052. The UML was very angry after the mid-term elections were postponed due to the restoration of the House of Representatives.

The main opposition Nepali Congress and other opposition parties were excited. In particular, the UML had called the Supreme Court's decision unnatural. The UML had questioned the Supreme Court by comparing it with the decision of the then Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala to dissolve the House of Representatives in 2051 and uphold the announcement of mid-term elections.

Koirala had sent a letter to the King on Asad 26, 2051 to dissolve the House of Representatives. The Supreme Court had ruled that the letter was constitutional. The UML had expressed dissatisfaction that the court had overturned the recommendation made by Manmohan on that basis. The UML not only expressed dissatisfaction with the Supreme Court's decision, but also organized protest programs across the country.

On the day the Supreme Court delivered its decision, UML cadres had raised slogans in the court premises. A bandh was called in the valley and various cities of the country through fraternal organizations. During the strike, UML workers raised slogans demanding the 'hanging' of Chief Justice Bishwanath Upadhyay. Parties including the main opposition party, the Congress, and constitutional experts considered the UML's opposition to be unnatural.

The UML did not take the situation of its minority government collapsing and the opposition preparing to lead the government lightly. Some accused the UML of mocking the rule of law and misinterpreting the interpretation of the constitution by opposing the Supreme Court's decision.

The UML, however, maintained its stance against the Supreme Court's decision. While the UML's stance remained unchanged, Jhapa movement leader Mohan Chandra Adhikari called it an undemocratic culture to be suspicious of the court's decision. After spending a long time in prison during the Panchayat regime during the leftist movement, he separated from the UML and formed the Jana Ekta Morcha. He was its chairman. He was also called the 'Nelson Mandela' of Nepal based on the length of his imprisonment.

In the transition period after the Supreme Court's decision, the UML had also proposed to postpone the special general session of the House of Representatives, which was called for Bhadra 20. On 29th Shrawan 2052, Prime Minister Manmohan was injured in a helicopter crash. He was undergoing treatment at a teaching hospital when the Supreme Court announced the decision to restore the parliament. Manmohan had requested King Birendra and Speaker Ramchandra Poudel to postpone the date of the special session, saying that he was ill. The Supreme Court's decision divided politics into two poles.

On the one hand, UML Chairman and Prime Minister Manmohan and General Secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal had been portraying the Supreme Court's decision as an unnatural event. On the other hand, the Congress, Rastriya Prajatantra Party, Sadbhavana Party, and others had issued a joint statement against the Supreme Court's decision, accusing the UML of trying to bring chaos to the country.

The three parties jointly issued a statement saying that the Supreme Court's decision had saved the concept of democracy and the rule of law. The opposition had opposed the decision of the Supreme Court as 'irrelevant and motivated by political exhortations'. In the joint press statement, the Supreme Court's decision was called a epoch-making event in Nepal's democratic history.

The statement signed by Congress President Krishna Prasad Bhattarai, RPP President Surya Bahadur Thapa, and Nepal Sadbhavana Party President Gajendra Narayan Singh said, 'Now all political parties should assimilate the Supreme Court's decision in accordance with their democratic character and dignity and find solutions to the challenges and problems existing in the country through parliamentary practice. Unfortunately, it has been seen that the ruling party is not ready to easily accept such a democratic norm.'

Focusing on the situation created in the country by the dissolution of Parliament by Prime Minister Manmohan, the Supreme Court's restoration, and the call by the main opposition party to abide by the constitution, the news prepared by Kantipur Daily was published on Bhadra 16, 2052 under the title 'Restoration of the House of Representatives is not anyone's defeat or victory'.

In the same context, Kantipur also published Mohan Chand's statement under the title 'Doubting the court's decision is an undemocratic culture'. On the same day, Kantipur also published a photo of the rally held by the UML sister organization ANRFSU in Kathmandu at Ratna Park on the front page against the Supreme Court's decision.

The opposition in favor of the Congress had challenged the UML through a statement so as not to consider themselves weak, while the UML continued its opposition by insisting that mid-term elections should be held. Even after 30 years (now), the UML has not stopped making informal allegations that the Supreme Court Chief Justice Upadhyay made the decision out of prejudice.
