KATHMANDU, July 27: Today's hearing on the writ petitions  filed against 52 constitutional appointments made during the erstwhile KP Oli government has been postponed. The hearing was put off after the lawyers pleading on behalf of the defendants of the case - the office-bearers of the constitutional bodies - raised some questions. 

It is expected that the SC will issue an order regarding the demand raised by them. As soon as the hearing started, the lawyers of the defendants of the case demanded that the constitutional bodies, too, should be made opponents and a written answer should be sought from them.

They demanded that the case related to the constitutional appointment is still in the joint bench and it should be heard together in the constitutional bench. Acting Chief Justice Deepak Kumar Karki led the constitutional bench and questioned whether these cases can be heard or not.
