Kathmandu: The full bench of Judges Ishwar Prasad Khatiwada, Anand Mohan Bhattarai and Til Prasad Shrestha had a hearing on Tuesday, but due to lack of time, it was adjourned for today.
The joint bench of Justices Sushmalata Mathema and Til Prasad Shrestha ordered that the hearing on the writ be conducted by the full bench on Monday. On Asar 22, the incumbent Chief Minister Hikmat Kumar Karki filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court stating that the Chief Minister appointment process in Koshi Province was unconstitutional.
On Asar 27, the single bench of Judge Sapnapradhan Malla, while conducting the preliminary hearing on the said writ, ordered the Koshi state government not to act in a way that would have a far-reaching impact and to submit a written reply.
