A crucial hearing on the controversial dissolution of the House of Representatives began today at the Supreme Court’s Constitutional Bench, drawing national attention to one of Nepal’s most debated political issues.
The five-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Prakashman Singh Raut and joined by Justices Sapana Pradhan Malla, Kumar Regmi, Hari Prasad Phuyal, and Manoj Kumar Sharma, will examine whether President Ram Chandra Paudel’s decision to dissolve the House on September 12, based on the recommendation of the interim government was constitutional.
The dissolution came in the aftermath of the powerful “GenZ Movement” on September 8 and 9, which pressured then–Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to resign. When Parliament failed to form a new government, an interim cabinet was created under former Chief Justice Sushila Karki, whose administration later recommended the dissolution.
Multiple advocates, including Prem Raj Silwal, Yubaraj Paudel, and Kirtinath Sharma Paudel, have challenged the move, calling both the interim government’s formation and the dissolution unconstitutional.
The case carries major political weight, with observers noting that the Supreme Court’s verdict could have lasting consequences for Nepal’s democratic and constitutional order.
