Supreme Court to Hear Case Against Government-Gyanendra Agreement Today

The hearing for the writ petition challenging the 10-point agreement reached between the government and Gyanendra's representatives is scheduled at the Supreme Court today. The case has been listed for hearing before the division bench of Supreme Court Justices Kumar Regmi and Sunil Kumar Pokharel.

On Monday, the case listed under serial 'Cha' before the division bench of Supreme Court Justices Binod Sharma and Shanti Singh Thapa was placed on the 'not to be heard' list.

The Supreme Court had previously ordered the summoning of the original file of the 10-point agreement reached between the government and Gyanendra's representatives. On Poush 30, the division bench of Supreme Court Justices Mahesh Sharma Paudel and Nityananda Pandey ordered the summoning of the original agreement file through the Attorney General's Office, in line with the previous order.

The 10-point agreement was signed on Mangsir 24 between the government and Gyanendra's representatives, ostensibly to institutionalize the Gyanendra movement that took place on Bhadra 23 and 24.

Writs were filed in the Supreme Court seeking an interim order to stop the government from taking such actions until the final verdict, arguing that the provisions of the agreement would cause long-term damage to the state structure and constitutional practices if implemented.

In separate writ petitions filed on Poush 3 by Advocate Dr. Premraj Silwal and advocates Sudip Bhandari, Rohit Jha, Saroj Kadel, along with law students Ayush Badal, Pravin Paudel, and Smriti Adhikari, it was mentioned that the agreement was against the constitution.
