UML is going to court for judicial review, saying that the report of the committee formed by the National Human Rights Commission to study the incidents of Bhadra 23-24 is biased.
Making public the conclusion reached after internal discussions, UML General Secretary Shankar Pokharel said that it will go to court for judicial review as constitutional questions have been raised over the report.
‘If a constitutional question is raised, we will prepare to go to court for judicial review and, if necessary, use all available legal remedies,’ Pokharel said in a statement. ‘A study group of legal practitioners and subject matter experts will be formed to study the constitutional, legal and factual aspects of the commission’s report and its related recommendations in depth.’
Pokharel said that a detailed analysis of the report’s constitutional, legal and procedural weaknesses will be conducted to assess the biases, recommendations outside the jurisdiction and legal contradictions seen in the report, and to ensure the protection of the rule of law, the constitution and democratic values.
The UML has decided to decide on the future strategy by keeping the rule of law, constitutional supremacy, natural justice and the protection of democratic values at the center, to create an environment for building a common understanding through dialogue, discussion and collaboration with various political parties and stakeholders on various political, constitutional and democratic dimensions developed in the country, and if necessary, to formally object to the Commission on behalf of the aggrieved party or demand a review.
The Commission has recommended action against UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli, Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak and others for being responsible for the incident of Bhadra 23.
