A 10-point agreement was reached between the government and Gen-G on Mangsir 24. Advocates Sudip Bhandari, Rohit Ojha and law students Ayush Badal and Smriti Adhikari, among others, filed a writ in the Supreme Court on Thursday against the agreement. The writ states that the interim government, which has received the election mandate, does not have the right to enter into an agreement.
The writ also claims that the provisions mentioned in the agreement, including the maximum two-term limit for the heads of the federal and provincial governments, are inconsistent with the constitution. The writ seeks an order of dismissal, declaring the agreement and the notice issued in the gazette unconstitutional. Similarly, an interim order has also been sought to prevent the government from carrying out any work that will have long-term effects.
