Nepal SC to hear petition on Cabinet reshuffle, expansion
Kathmandu, June 22 (UNI): The Nepalese Supreme Court will hear the writ petitions filed against Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s decision to reshuffle and expand his Cabinet.
The petitioners had filed a writ petition in the apex court seeking issuance of an interim order against the Oli-government. They argue that a caretaker prime minister does not hold the authority to take such decisions.
