The Supreme Court has ordered a full hearing of the writ petition challenging the agreement between the government and Genji representatives.

On Tuesday, a bench of Justices Kumar Regmi and Sunil Kumar Pokharel ordered the matter to be presented for full hearing. Stating that written responses from all parties have been submitted to the writ filed by Advocate Prem Raj Silwal,  it was ordered to be sent for final judgment. 

On December 15, a bench of Justice Tek Prasad Dhungana had ordered the opposition to be summoned for discussion on the show cause order and interim order. On December 11, a bench of Justices Kumar Regmi and Meghraj Pokharel had asked them to submit the two writs together.

After that, the writ, which has been repeatedly ignored, was ordered to be presented in the full bench for hearing on Tuesday. A writ was filed in the Supreme Court on December 15, raising constitutional questions about the agreement reached between Prime Minister Sushila Karki and the Gen-G representative on December 24.

Advocates Silwal, Sudip Bhandari, Rohit Ojha, Saroj Katel and law students Ayush Badal, Prabin Poudel and Smriti Adhikari had filed a writ petition, saying that the agreement was unconstitutional.

The writ petition claims that the interim government does not have the authority to enter into political and structural agreements that will have long-term and far-reaching effects. The writ petition also claims that the country has been pushed towards instability by violating the limits of the constitution in the name of the movement.

Similarly, the writ petition claims that the provision to form a new commission that conflicts with the jurisdiction of constitutional bodies like the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority is against the spirit of the constitution and encroaches on its jurisdiction. 

The writ petition seeks an order to declare the 10-point agreement and the notice published in the gazette based on it as unconstitutional and to annul it.
