KATHMANDU, July 27: The hearing on the writ petition that was registered by questioning the constitutionality of the formation of a government in Koshi province has been set for Thursday, citing insufficiency of time to complete hearing over the case on Wednesday.

A full bench of apex court justices comprising Iswori Prasad Khatiwada, Ananda Mohan Bhattarai and Til Prasad Shrestha was hearing the case.

It may be noted that a divisional bench of the SC justices, Sushma Lata Mathema and Til Prasad Shrestha on Monday had issued an order to hear the case in full bench.

Former Chief Minister of Koshi Province, Hikmat Bahadur Karki on July 7 had registered a writ petition at Supreme Court, saying the appointment process of Chief Minister in Koshi Province was unconstitutional.

On a preliminary hearing over the writ, a single bench of SC Justice Sapana Malla Pradhan on July 12 had issued an order in the name of the Koshi province government to not carry out any work with far-reaching impact and furnish reply in writing.
