A hearing has been scheduled for the Supreme Court on the writ petition filed by Congress lawmakers against the dissolution of the House of Representatives. The Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing for Poush 2 to hear the petition.
The dissolution of the House of Representatives and the appointment of Sushila Karki as Prime Minister are against the constitution and national interest, according to the Congress lawmakers.
The writ petition has been filed by the Chief Whip of the Parliamentary Party, Shyam Kumar Ghimire, Whip Sushila Thing, and MPs Asha BK, Deepak Khadka, Sita Kumari Rana, Nagina Yadav, Shanti BK, and Javeda Khatun Jaga in the dissolved House of Representatives. They have named the President and the Office of the President, Prime Minister Sushila Karki, the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, the Election Commission, Speaker Devraj Ghimire, and the Parliament Secretariat as defendants in the writ petition.
The Congress argues that the President's action in appointing Karki as Prime Minister while the House of Representatives is still in session is unconstitutional. 'It is clear from the beginning that the decision of the Honorable President to appoint the respondent Sushila Karki as the Prime Minister while the House of Representatives was still alive and to dissolve the House of Representatives based on the recommendation to dissolve the House of Representatives after her appointment and the related activities are unconstitutional,' the Congress has thus questioned the President's actions.
