Supreme Court Adjourns Hearing on Nepali Congress Legitimacy Dispute
Kathmandu. The hearing on the dispute regarding the legitimacy of the Nepali Congress has been adjourned as proceedings could not be concluded today. The joint bench of Supreme Court Justices Sharanga Subedi and Nripadhwaj Niraula scheduled the continuation of the hearing for tomorrow after arguments from the petitioner's side remained incomplete.
Today, legal representatives for petitioner Sher Bahadur Deuba and government attorneys presented their arguments, while the bench has allocated time for legal counsel representing President Thapa and others to present their arguments on Friday.
Previously, on Chait 27, a bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Sapana Pradhan Malla and Justice Meghraj Pokharel had issued an order to notify President Gagan Thapa and others, who were elected through a special general convention, regarding the petition.
Deuba and Khadka filed the writ petition on Magh 4. During the preliminary hearing on Magh 6, Supreme Court Justice Sunil Kumar Pokharel noted that certain questions raised in the petition filed by former President Sher Bahadur Deuba and Vice President Purna Bahadur Khadka required resolution.
The writ petition, filed by Shravan Kumar Shrestha on behalf of Deuba and Khadka, demands the annulment of the Election Commission's decision and the dissolution of the newly elected working committee, labeling it illegal.
