The Supreme Court has once again postponed the writ petition filed by the Sushila Karki-led government, which was formed on the strength of the Gen-G movement, against the dissolution of the House of Representatives.
According to advocate Premraj Silwal, the Supreme Court has set Falgun 22 as the general date. The government has completed preparations for the election on Falgun 21. He said that the hearing has not been scheduled because the case has not reached the stage.
On Kartik 2, the Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court had heard 16 writ petitions against the dissolution of Parliament and ordered to submit written responses within seven days, excluding the travel time.
After that, CPN-UML MPs and Nepali Congress had filed different writs. They had sought written responses in the writs they filed. Although written responses were submitted by those made respondents in all the writs, the Supreme Court has only given the general date as the files are yet to come in on some issues. So far, only preliminary hearings have been held on these writs. It has not yet been decided when the further hearing will be held.
Public concern and writs of parties are pending in the Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court. A writ petition has been filed to quash the decision of the President to dissolve the House of Representatives and to unconstitutionally appoint the current Prime Minister Sushila Karki to office. These writ petitions will be deemed to be justified if the elections are held on the scheduled date.
