KATHMANDU, March 16: The Supreme Court (SC) scrapped the writ petition filed against the citizenship ordinance on Wednesday.
A joint bench of acting chief justice Deepak Kuamr Karki, justices Meera Khadka, Hari Krishna Karki, Ishwar Kathiwada and Ananda Monhan Bhattari took a decision to this effect.
Earlier, senior advocate Borna Bahadur Karki had filed three petitions against the ordinance.

KATHMANDU: With newly amended Supreme Court (SC) Regulations being published in the Nepal Gazette, justices at the apex will now be assigned daily cases through a system of drawing lots.
The notice regarding the amended version of SC Regulations was published in the Nepal Gazette on Monday.
Though Monday’s notice in the gazette paved the way for the assignment of cases through the lottery system, an SC full court is required to take a decision to give it a formality.
The new provision replaces the prerogative that the Chief Justice enjoys while assigning cases to the justices at the apex court.
A report submitted by Justice Hari Krishna Karki had recommended introducing the lottery system. Another report by Justice Mira Khadka had also suggested the procedure to implement the system.
A full court held on November 18 decided to introduce a lottery system amending the existing provisions in the SC Regulations and endorsing a procedure regarding the new system.
KATHMANDU: Chief Justice (SC) Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana, who had been assigning only habeas corpus writ petitions to his fellow justices at the Supreme Court amid the ongoing deadlock, has, however, assigned other cases starting Tuesday.
In the cause-list published on Tuesday morning, CJ Rana assigned all sorts of cases including habeas corpus to other justices while his single bench is also scheduled to hear some cases.
Rana formed a total of ten benches --excluding his own, the other nine are joint benches.
Justices including Deepak Kumar Karki, Nahakul Subedi, Mira Khadka, Kumar Regmi, Hari Krishna Karki, Sushma Lata Mathema, Bishwambhar Prasad Shrestha, Kumar Chudal, Aanand Mohan Bhattarai, Prakash Kumar Dhungana, Anil Kumar Sinha, Prakash Man Singh Raut, and Sapana Pradhan Malla have been assigned cases for Tuesday.
Similarly, Bam Kumar Shrestha, Tej Bahadur KC and Manoj Kumar Sharma are also scheduled to bench the hearings on Tuesday as per the clause-list issued by the apex court.
KATHMANDU, October 25: A joint meeting of Supreme Court (SC) justices have begun.
Even if the Chief Justice (CJ) Cholendre Shumsher JBR had summoned a full court meeting for Monday, SC justices sat for a joint meeting. Due to the joint meeting, the full court meeting called by CJ Rana has fallen into limbo.
Similarly, as many as 14 SC justices have already decided to boycott the full court meeting summoned by CJ Rana.
Besides, the Nepal Bar Association has urged the authorities concerned to take effective actions immediately as the Judicial body has been involved in controversy due to CJ Rana himself.
Meanwhile, at the time when the CJ and other justices are facing disputes, some of the apex court justices are touring Khaptad and the United States of America. Justice Sapana Malla Pradan and Anil Kumar Singh are currently in Khaptad while justice Ishwar Prasad Kathiwada is in the USA.
Likewise, justice Nahakul Subedi took an urgent leave on Monday along with justices Tej Bahadur K.C and Dr Kumar Chudal.

Hearing on the writ petitions against the ‘unconstitutional’ dissolution of the House of Representatives at the Chief Justice-led Constitutional Bench is scheduled to begin from Friday.
Of the 30 petitions registered at the Supreme Court (SC), 19 were heard at a single-bench led by Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JBR on Thursday.
