KATHMANDU: Hearing on the writ petition related to the authentication of the Bill designed to amend the Nepal Citizenship Act, 2063 has been deferred until Sunday.
The hearing that was scheduled for today (Friday) at the Supreme Court has been postponed until Sunday, said the apex court’s spokesperson Bimal Paudel.
“The case could not be heard today as there were many other cases to hear,” he said.
Justice Dr Manoj Kumar Sharma was scheduled to hear the case.
A total of five writ petitions have been in the apex court after President Bidya Devi Bhandari denied to certify the citizenship bill that both the Houses endorsed two times, said Paudel.
The petition demanded that the President authenticate the bill.
The Office of the President has been named as a defendant in the case.
