Supreme Court to Hear Full Review of 10-Point Agreement Between Government and GEN-Z Representatives

The writ petition filed against the 10-point agreement reached between the government and GEN-Z representatives is set to be presented for a full hearing. A joint bench of Supreme Court Justices Kumar Regmi and Sunil Kumar Pokharel has ordered the writ to be presented for a full hearing.

Previously, the Supreme Court had ordered the original file of the 10-point agreement between the government and GEN-Z representatives to be summoned. On Poush 30, a joint bench of Justices Mahesh Sharma Paudel and Nityananda Pandey had directed the summoning of the original agreement file through the Office of the Attorney General, as per the previous order.

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

A writ petition was filed in the Supreme Court seeking an interim order to stop the government from taking actions until the final verdict, arguing that the implementation of the provisions of the agreement would cause long-term damage to the state structure and constitutional practice.

On Poush 3, Advocate Dr. Premraj Silwal and advocates Sudip Bhandari, Rohit Jha, Saroj Kadel, along with law students Ayush Badal, Pravin Paudel, and Smriti Adhikari, filed separate writ petitions mentioning that the agreement is contrary to the constitution.
