Kathmandu, May 11: The Supreme Court (SC) has issued an interlocutory order not to immediately implement the decision to dismiss the trade unions.
Acting Chief Justice Sapana Pradhan Malla and Justices Kumar Regmi and Hari Prasad Phunyal issued such an interlocutory order on Monday.
However, Justices Binod Sharma and Sharanga Subedi on the constitutional bench put forth different opinions and did not agree on granting such an order in regard to trade unions in government-run institutions.
The court has called both parties for the discussion on May 20. The SC has asked to submit a written response as well as a copy of the writ petition through the Office of the Attorney General within seven days of receiving the notice by excluding travel time.
The Nepal Civil Service Employees’ Organisation through its Central Working Committee Chairperson, Bhawani Dahal and others, filed a writ petition at the SC against the government’s move making the Office of the President as a defendant.
