Kathmandu, Aug 22: Three persons nominated as ambassadors by the previous government have filed a writ petition at Supreme Court, arguing that present government’s decision to scrap recommendation was against constitution and law.
Niranjan Kumar Thapa nominated as ambassador for Myanmar, Khagendra Basnyat for Bangladesh and Bharat Bahadur Rayamajhi for UAE jointly filed the writ petition at SC on Sunday.
It may be noted that earlier four ambassador nominees for different countries had moved the apex court after the government decided to withdraw their nominations. The Supreme Court has already issued an interim order in the name of the government not to implement its decision of withdrawing the nominations of ambassadors.

The court summoned the both sides for discussions on coming August 24. They were proposed for the ambassadorial appointments for various countries by the previous government. RSS
