The Supreme Court (SC) has again deferred the preliminary decision on the writ challenging the legitimacy of the decision by the Constituent Assembly (CA) to implement republic.

For the second time in a week, the SC has deferred passing a preliminary decision on the writ. It has now stated that the decision on the issue would be taken on Sunday.

The SC division bench comprising of judge Damodar Sharma was to pass a preliminary decision on the writ on last Sunday but it decided to defer the same till today and again today it decided to defer the decision till June 22.

The writ filed by one Ram Kumar Ojha has demanded that the CA decision be annulled stating that the incomplete CA - as the government has not yet nominated 26 members of the 601-member strong CA envisaged by the constitution – could not take the decision.

"Today the bench did not even take up the issue and it simply deferred it till Sunday," said Ojha.
The initial hearing of the case had been completed ten days ago. nepalnews.com sd Jun 20 08
