President Bhandari summons summer session of National Assembly...
The 275-member lower house winter session was due to begin before January 2 as per the constitution, which, however, did not happen as Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli ‘unconstitutionally’ dissolved parliament on December 20 last year. The Supreme Court (SC), in its landmark verdict on February 23, overturned the dissolution move and ordered the government to call the House session within 13 days from the verdict date.
The interval between the two sessions shall not be more than six months. The budget session of the House was prorogued on July 2 last year.
