KATHMANDU, Feb 22: A hearing on the writ filed at the Supreme Court challenging the four major parties’ decision to form an election government-led by sitting chief justice, has been postponed till Sunday.



Hemanta Rawal, deputy spokesperson for the apex court, said the hearing could not be conducted due to the lack of time as there were other several cases ahead of it on the list for Friday. [break]



Justice Kalyan Shrestha was to conduct a hearing on the case. Advocate Bharat Mani Jangam had filed the writ petition Sunday, seeking an interim order against the decision of the four major parties--UCPN (Maoist), Nepali Congress, CPN-UML and United Democratic Madhesi Front.



The petitioner has argued that the move would encroach on the independence of judiciary. He has also sought an apex court order for the formation of a government within a month to conduct fresh election to the Constituent Assembly (CA) and parliament.
