Nepali Congress leader Purna Bahadur Khadka signals legal challenge against Supreme Court verdict

Kathmandu. Outgoing Nepali Congress Vice President Purna Bahadur Khadka has stated that the option to approach a full bench remains open following the Supreme Court's verdict on Friday regarding the party's official status.

During a meeting of the Sher Bahadur Deuba faction held in Maharajgunj on Sunday, Khadka hinted at the possibility of seeking a review of the verdict. "We still have the option to approach a full bench for a hearing against the court's order," a member present at the meeting quoted Khadka as saying.

Khadka mentioned that while he would respect the Supreme Court's decision, he disagrees with the grounds provided for the adjudication. The central committee member noted that Khadka does not accept the five grounds used for the dismissal of the writ petition.

He emphasized that he would maintain a clear stance and proceed with steps gradually. "We will keep our stance clear and move forward step by step, holding provincial gatherings and discussions among colleagues to keep our faction united and active," Khadka stated.
