KATHMANDU: Legal practitioners have expressed doubts over the authenticity of the notice published in the Nepal Gazette regarding the dissolution of the House of Representatives (HoR).

Advocate Govinda Bandi said that an application has been filed at the Supreme Court demanding to check the authenticity of the notice.

Leaders of the Dahal-Nepal faction of the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) including Krishna Bhakta Pokharel, Shashi Shrestha, and Ram Kumari Jhakri have filed a petition at the Constitutional Bench on Sunday.

“The government’s decision must be published in the Gazette. There is a demand that its validity should be tested,” Bandi said.

The government on Friday had submitted a notice of the House dissolution published in the Nepal Gazette before the bench.

Attorney General Agni Kharel had 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 on December 20.

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.
