A writ petition has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the government's decision to grant two public holidays a week, Saturday and Sunday. Advocates Anil Acharya, Deepak Raj Joshi, Krishna Bahadur Khanal and Chudamani Bhandari have filed the writ petition. The government of Nepal, the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports and the Education and Human Resource Development Center have been named as respondents in the writ petition. The court has fixed the first hearing of the writ petition for the 27th. The government's decision has had a serious impact on the education sector. The writ petition has sought an interim order. The writ petition has claimed that the decree not to grant Sunday holidays in schools should be revoked. The writ petition has claimed that the government's decision to grant two public holidays a week has adversely affected the national curriculum, curriculum and credit hours of school education. According to the Education Regulations, 2059, although schools are required to be open for at least 220 days in an academic session, the petitioner claims that giving two days off a week will be difficult to achieve and will have a direct negative impact on students' learning. The petitioner has claimed in the writ that it is constitutionally and legally flawed for the federal government to issue a mandatory two-day holiday based on a policy decision without any coordination with the local level, citing that Schedule 8 of the Constitution of Nepal states that basic and secondary education falls under the sole jurisdiction of the local level. The writ states that this decision has created confusion not only in the education sector but also in the preparation of the work schedule for the academic session 2083. The writ also demands an interim order as per Rule 49 of the Supreme Court Rules, 2074, to not implement Sunday holidays in the case of educational institutions until the final decision on the writ petition is made.
