Kathmandu, Nepal: The legal quandary surrounding the formation of an interim government and the dissolution of parliament following last month's uprising in Nepal is escalating as multiple petitions have been filed in the country’s Supreme Court.

According to court official Nirajan Pandey, these petitions argue that such actions are unconstitutional.

Following two days of violent protests over economic hardships and perceived corruption, which resulted in significant destruction and casualties, former chief justice Sushila Karki was appointed prime minister, leading to the dissolution of parliament.

The legal challenge is gaining momentum with eight political parties calling for the reinstatement of the parliament, citing constitutional breaches.

Supporters of ousted Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli have also joined the call for parliamentary restoration.

As the court resumes operations after being impacted by the protests, it remains to be seen how these petitions will be addressed and what implications this legal battle might have on Nepal’s political landscape.
