Supreme Court not hearing case against Speaker Sapkota today



KATHMANDU: Supreme Court (SC) will not hear the case filed against Speaker Agni Sapkota today.

The SC website states that the case will not be heard on Friday owing to time constraint.

A constitutional bench comprising Chief Justice Cholendra Shamsher Rana, Justices Deepak Kumar Karki, Meera Khadka, Hari Krishna Karki and Bishwambhar Prasad Shrestha were scheduled to hear Sapkota’s case.

Earlier, this writ had been scheduled for hearing on March 13 but was postponed citing busy schedule.
