CJ Regmi has directed the court administration to give priority to the hearing on the petition. Regmi further said a special bench would preside over the hearing after the government and the parliament secretariat furnish their written replies.
The lawyers moved the court on Thursday with their petition demanding that the court direct the government and the secretariat to reinstate the dissolved Constituent Assembly for a day to promulgate a new constitution and nullify the decision to hold fresh elections for Constituent Assembly on November 22.
