Writ against Koshi Provincial Government scheduled for hearing today

KATHMANDU, Aug 24: The writ filed by the CPN UML parliamentary party leader Hikmat Kumar Karki against the Koshi Provincial Government has been scheduled for hearing today. It has been scheduled for hearing on the single bench of Justice Ishwar Prasad Khatiwada on Thursday. The writ was registered on Wednesday.

The UML reached the Supreme Court when Koshi Chief Minister Uddhav Thapa took the vote of confidence on Monday and the person who presided over the assembly also voted to achieve a majority. If there is an interim order today, the Thapa-led government will be in trouble again. 

Earlier, the Thapa-led government, which had secured a majority through the signature of the Speaker, collapsed on the 26th of July after the order of the Supreme Court.
