The Supreme Court has refused to issue an interim order on a writ petition claiming that the decision to withhold the passports of then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak and require permission to move from one place to another should be nullified.

A single bench of Justice Nripadhwaj Niraula has only issued a show cause order. Advocate Premraj Silwal had filed a writ petition claiming that the decision to require permission to move from one place to another was unconstitutional.

The writ petition claimed that the Commission of Inquiry formed to investigate the Gen-G agitation can investigate the incidents and even recommend action, but cannot take action itself, so it is illegal to keep it in this manner.
