The writ petition filed by former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and others in the dispute over the legitimacy of the Nepali Congress has been scheduled for hearing in the Supreme Court. The hearing has been scheduled before a bench of Justices Binod Sharma and Meghraj Pokharel.
Sharma and Pokharel are scheduled to appear in bench number 22, so the possibility of their turn is low. The writ petition seeking the cancellation of the candidacy of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) candidate from Dhanusha, Kishori Sah, has been scheduled for hearing in the same bench as the first.
A writ petition was filed on Magh 4 by Deuba and Purna Bahadur Khadka against the Election Commission's decision to recognize the special general convention to make Gagan Thapa the president. The Supreme Court, while holding the first hearing on the writ petition, issued a show cause order on Magh 6 and sought written responses from all parties. The Supreme Court had granted priority to hold the final hearing.
The bench of Supreme Court Justice Sunil Kumar Pokharel refused to issue an interim order and granted priority within 15 days. Deuba's side had gone to court, making the Election Commission a defendant.
The Gagan Thapa-Bishwaprakash Sharma faction had elected a new leadership by holding a special general convention. The Deuba faction had approached the Election Commission against this, saying the special general convention was illegal.
The commission had given legitimacy to the newly elected team. After that, the Deuba faction approached the Supreme Court. Gagan Thapa has been elected president from the special general convention. Following the Supreme Court's order, Thapa himself signed and distributed the tickets of the direct candidates for the House of Representatives elections held on Falgun 21. If it is not possible to see it on Sunday, the case will be postponed to at least a month.
