Hearing on writ against bid to form CJ-led govt postponed until March 14

The Supreme Court has postponed a special-bench hearing on a writ petition filed against the political parties’ agreement to form an election government under Chief Justice Khil Raj Regmi, on Thursday.

The hearing on a petition filed by advocate Bharat Jangam was slated to take place today. The court said that since a hearing on a writ petition of a similar nature was scheduled for March 14, the hearing on both the cases will be conducted on the same day.

The other writ was filed by Om Prakash Aryal on February 26. Both the petitions state that the sitting Chief Justice cannot head the government, and demands an interim order to scrap. the process. nepalnews.com
