Updated:4 years, 8 months ago

Kathmandu (Nepal) Feb 24 (ANI): After the Supreme Court of Nepal on Tuesday reinstated the House of Representatives, the lower house of the country's Parliament, student leaders and cadres of Nepal Communist Party (NCP)'s rival faction chanted slogans hailing the verdict. The students claimed it as a win for the people against a unilateral political system that crossed the line set by the constitution and marched towards autocracy and absoluteness. A five-member Constitutional Bench led by Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JBR on Tuesday annulled the government's decision to dissolve the 275-member lower house of the parliament. Along with the reinstatement order, the Apex Court also directed the government to summon House session within the next 13 days, an order which has opened the way forward to impeach or oust Oli from the post of Prime Minister. On December 20 last year, President Bidya Devi Bhandari had dissolved parliament at recommendation of KP Sharma Oli. Oli had maintained that he was forced to dissolve parliament as he was not allowed to work properly by the leaders within his own party. As many as 13 writ petitions were filed in the Supreme Court challenging the move of Oli to dissolve parliament which was termed as a "constitutional coup" by critics and analysts. Along with the verdict, the Supreme Court also scrapped all the appointments made by Oli to various constitutional bodies after the dissolution of parliament on December 20, last year. Likewise, a senior leader of the ruling Nepal Communist Party's rival faction Madhav Kumar Nepal has said that the historic verdict of the Supreme Court has marked the victory of people.
