The Supreme Court has set May 28 as the general date for the writ petition against the dissolution of the House of Representatives. Tuesday was the general date. Therefore, it was expected that a hearing would be scheduled for this writ petition.

But the Supreme Court has set Magh 28 as the general date instead of setting a hearing date. The date is the scheduled date on which the parties to the case are to appear in court. There are two types of dates, ordinary dates and presentation dates. The date on which the case is presented to the bench for hearing is called the presentation date. In common parlance, it is also called the presentation date, and all the dates set for appearing in the court for any purpose other than the presentation date are called general dates.

17 writs filed by UML, Congress and public interest groups are awaiting a second hearing. The Supreme Court had earlier held the first hearing on the writs and sought a show cause order and written response. Then the Supreme Court ordered that all these writs be kept together and heard.

After that order, the writs were kept together. Even though all the writs were kept together, no hearing has been scheduled for hearing so far as the written response of the respondents has not been received.
