Kathmandu, Nepal: Challenging to the government’s decision to increase the number of local units, a writ petition has been filed at the Supreme Court (SC) demanding interim order against the government decision on Monday.
Chiranjibi Rijal filed the writ at the SC demanding that the decision of the government to increase the number of local units from 719 to 744 be scrapped immediately through the interim order.
Writ petitioner Rijal has a claim that the decision made from the cabinet meeting breaches the jurisdiction of the constitutionally formed commission.
The government has on Sunday decided to add 25 more local units to the total 719 units proposed by the Local Level Restructuring Commission (LLRC).
The writ petitioner has a claim that the government’s decision breaches the constitutional provision of Article 295(3) that authorities to the LLRC to determine the number and boundaries of village and municipal councils.
