With the reinstatement of the House of Representatives, the Supreme Court of Nepal has also made a ruling against all the appointments made after the December 20 move of KP Sharma Oli government to dissolve House.
The government’s decision to appoint over three dozen people to vacant posts in various constitutional bodies, as such, has now been scrapped.
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli had introduced an ordinance to fill in the vacant posts after the House Speaker and leader of main opposition party refused to attend the Constitutional Council meetings held to decide on the names for the constitutional posts.
Later, the President, on recommendation of Oli-Cabinet had appointed and sworn in over three dozen individuals, stepping on the newly introduced ordinance.
The government had also relieved Province 2’s state head Tilak Pariyar, having him replaced by Rajesh Ahiraj Jha on February 19.
