In the petition filed against the appointment of 52 officers of the Constitutional Commission, Pesi has gone up to the Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court to pronounce its decision.

Chief Justice Prakashman Singh Raut and Justices Sapna Pradhan Malla, Manoj Kumar Sharma, Kumar Chudal and Nahkul Subedi were seated in the constitutional bench.

The Supreme Court is about to pronounce a decision on the writ petition of 4 and a half years ago. According to the amended law through the Ordinance, the constitutional bench is about to hear the 15 writs filed against the appointment of 32 officials on 21 January 2077 and 20 officials on 10 June 2078. 

The constitutional bench started hearing in the middle of last January about the fact that Pacey has been moving due to not being sent to watch. In the meantime, after the debate on the payments, the decision date has been fixed for Wednesday .  

When appointing the constitutional body both times, the KP Sharma Oli-led government amended the Constitutional Council Act through an ordinance to make the recommendation process more convenient. By amending the legal provisions, the presence of 5 out of 6 members of the Constitutional Council will constitute a quorum and the decision of 4 out of the quorum will be a majority. The ordinance also made a provision that the majority of those present, including the chairman, could make a recommendation.

After the issuance of the ordinance, the then Prime Minister Oli, Chairman of the Constitutional Council, the then Chief Justice Cholendra Shamsher Jabara and the then Speaker of the National Assembly Ganesh Prasad Timilsina held a meeting and recommended it to the Constitutional Commission. The then main opposition party leader Sher Bahadur Deuba and Speaker Agni Sapkota were absent from the meeting. The then Prime Minister Oli dissolved the House of Representatives within a few days of recommending the office bearers from the Constitutional Council on 30 November 2077 and 21 Baisakh. The then President Bidya Devi Bhandari gave them the appointment on the basis of the parliamentary rules that if there is no parliamentary hearing within 45 days of the recommendation.    When was
