On Wednesday, some former Congress MPs suddenly gathered at Singha Dabar and spread the news that they would go to the Supreme Court against the dissolution of the House of Representatives. Former MPs close to Sher Bahadur Deuba were especially informing in this way.

They were sharing information among themselves that they would go to meet the Chief Justice to pressure him to explain why the writ for the restoration of Parliament was not being heard.

They were saying that a delegation was going to go on Thursday to demand a continuous hearing on the writ they had filed demanding the restoration of Parliament. It was led by Shyam Ghimire.

He had also informed the media on Wednesday evening that he had decided to meet the Chief Justice. An email purportedly from the Congress had also informed that the meeting was scheduled for the morning. But this information was wrong.

The leaders, including Ghimire, had called Chief Registrar Bimal Poudel and said that they were coming to meet him. He had asked the Supreme Court to come. But the former Deuba-backed MPs spread rumors that Chief Justice Raut had already provided a time before 11 am.

Suddenly on Thursday morning, they had also issued a notice that the meeting program was postponed. On Wednesday, when the Chief Justice's Secretariat was asked whether anyone had requested time to meet the Chief Justice, the reply was that no one had requested time and no information had been received from the Congress.

'No one had requested time to meet the Chief Justice yesterday. We were also surprised to see the news that appeared online. No one had requested or given time to meet the Chief Justice,' said a Secretariat source. On Wednesday morning, Shyam Ghimire called and asked if he could meet and the Chief Justice's schedule was busy, the Secretariat claims, so he may have taken the Chief Registrar's time.

When Ghimire was asked about this, he could not be contacted. 17 writs have been filed against the dissolution of Parliament. Among them, former Congress and UML MPs have also filed separate writ petitions. Earlier, on Poush 2, the constitutional bench comprising Chief Justice Prakash Man Singh Raut, Senior-most Justice Sapana Pradhan Malla, Justices Hari Prasad Phuyal, Manoj Kumar Sharma and Nahakul Subedi had issued a show cause order in the name of the opposition.

After the order, the opposition is continuing to respond. The next general date is on the 20th. A decision will be made on the presentation. Meanwhile, while the Election Commission has registered nominations and made all preparations, there have been rumors of the restoration of Parliament for a few days.

After rumors that a decision is being made on a case that has not been presented, the Supreme Court had refuted the claim that there is no presentation. The election scheduled for 21 Falgun is now only 35 days away.
