Kathmandu, December 01: A writ petition has been filed at the Supreme Court (SC) challenging the registration of the bill on amendment to the constitution.
Advocate Tikadhwoj Khadka moved the apex court demanding repeal of the bill without any delay claiming that the move was against the letter and spirit of the Constitution of Nepal.
Naming the Prime Minister, Nepal government and Legislature-Parliament, among others, as defendants, the writ has recommended that the Nepal government could constitute a federal commission to seek recommendations on the boundary of provinces in the constitution and settle the disputes accordingly. “I demand that the government’s anti-constitutional move to change the boundary of the provinces — the backbone of federalism — by seizing the constitutionally bestowed right to the people and the legislature-parliament to take decision to that end”, states the writ.
The writ has demanded interim order immediately staying the constitution amendment process till the finalization of the petition. RSS
