Another writ filed against plan to install CJ-led govt

A second writ petition challenging the preparations to form an election government headed by the Chief Justice was filed at the Supreme Court on Tuesday.

The writ filed by Om Prakash Aryal states that the sitting Chief Justice cannot head the government, and demands an interim order to stop the process until court gives its final decision on the previous writ filed by Bharat Jangham, which is to be heard by the court on March 7.

The writ also says the statement issued by Supreme Court deputy spokesperson Hemanta Rawal on behalf of the Chief Justice on Monday was uncalled for. Nepalnews.com
