Governor Adhikari on April 17 filed a case at the SC demanding abrogation of the government’s decision to form a probe committee to investigate him without prior information and justification. After the formation of the committee, Governor Adhikari was automatically suspended from his position.
However, responding to Governor Adhikari’s petition, the SC issued an interim order, staying the government’s decision and paving the way for him to return to his office and carry out his regular duties.
