The writ was sent to a full bench after opinion on the same was divided between justice Girish Chandra Lal and Ram Kumar Prasad Shah, according to joint-spokesperson of the Court, Hemant Rawal.
During the hearing of the writ filed by advocate Achyut Prasad Kharel, Nepal Bar Association and Supreme Court Bar had even sent amicus curiae.
Following the decision to send the writ to a full bench, it is likely that the case could now remain undecided as only two justices remain, which may not be regarded a full bench. Chief Justice Khil Raj Regmi, Damodar Prasad Sharma, Justice Shah and Justice Lal are office-bearers of the Judicial Council, and hence cannot take part in the full bench.
Likewise, temporary justice also cannot be a part of it as the case is related to the temporary justices.
