Court vacates stay on National Assembly nominations

Kathmandu, March 7

The Supreme Court has paved the way for three  National Assembly MPs nominated by the new government to take their oath of office as it vacated a stay on their swearing-in.

The court had earlier stayed the appointment of Yubaraj Khatiwada. who is also the Finance Minister, Ram Narayan Bidari and Bimala Paudyal after a petition was filed against their nomination. The trio was nominated by the new KP Oli government, which overturned the Deuba’s government to nominate a different set of people to the Upper House.

Meanwhile, the court has decided to transfer the case to the Constitutional Bench as some of the questions raised by the petition are related to the provisions of the constitution.
