KATHMANDU: The government on Friday submitted the notice of the dissolution of the House of Representatives (HoR) published in the Nepal Gazette to the Constitutional Bench of Supreme Court (SC).

Attorney General Agni Sapkota submitted the notice to the bench after the Bench instructed the government for the same on Thursday.

The bench has been hearing the writ petitions filed against HoR dissolution by Prime Minister KP Oli in December.

The Bench had asked the government to submit the notice after advocates Tika Ram Bhattarai and Om Prakash Aryal claimed in the course of debating on behalf of the petitioners that the notice of the dissolution was not even published in the Nepal Gazette.

Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana had then asked Deputy Attorney General Padam Pandey to submit the House dissolution notice.

As many as 350 advocates have applied to debate on behalf of the petitioners. Meanwhile, the Bench has already set a time limit to the advocates since granting unlimited time to all of them would prolong the hearing.

CJ Rana constituted the Constitutional Bench comprising himself and Justices Bishwambhar Prasad Shrestha, Hari Krishna Karki, Anil Kumar Sinha and Tej Bahadur KC on December 25.

He later included Justice Sapana Pradhan Malla in the constitutional bench in place of Karki after the latter refused to hear the case.
