No Review Of the Supreme Court Ruling On The Term of Constituent Assembly
By KTM Metro Reporter
December 26, 2011: Speaking at a press conference held by the Federation of Nepalese Journalists in Tansen, Palpa, Chief Justice Khilraj Regmi has said that the Supreme Court of Nepal would not review and revised the ruling on the extension of the term of the Constituent Assembly, and the Supreme Court of Nepal has ruled the extension of the term of the Constituent Assembly following the correct interpretation of the Interim Constitution of Nepal of 2007 and the spirit of the People’s Movement of 2006, ‘gorkhapatra’ and ‘The Rising Nepal’ of today write.
Chief Justice Regmi also has said that the Supreme Court has ruled the extension of the term of the Constituent Assembly remaining within its jurisprudence and following its right to the final interpretation of the constitution.
The Supreme Court of Nepal had made a ruling on the reviving the parliament dissolved by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Adhikari in 1995 curtailing the prerogative of prime minister. That ruling proved to be the most unfortunate one by the political development brought by it. That political development had culminated into the takeover by Gyanendra Shah in February 2005.
The current ruling of the Supreme Court of Nepal on extending the term of Constituent Assembly might not prove to be the similar one in bringing political changes but it has curtailed the prerogative of the parliament that could change any article of a constitution and passes laws for the Supreme Court to enforce and interpret them if they are ambiguous.
