Supreme Court to Hear Petition Challenging Constitutionality of Government's Agreement with Ganja Representatives

The hearing date has been set in the Supreme Court for the writ petition filed arguing that the agreement reached between the government and Ganja representatives is unconstitutional. The joint bench of Supreme Court Justices Kumar Regmi and Meghraj Pokharel will hear the case regarding whether an interim order should be issued or not.

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, mentioned that the agreement was against the constitution. The Prime Minister and Council of Ministers Office and Prime Minister Sushila Karki were named as respondents in the writ.

A 10-point agreement was signed between the government and Ganja representatives on Mangsir 24, intended to institutionalize the Ganja movement that took place on Bhadra 23 and 24.

Writ petitions were filed in the Supreme Court demanding an interim order to stop the government from implementing the provisions of the agreement until the final verdict, arguing that their implementation would cause long-term damage to the state structure and constitutional practice.
