The verdict came by the apex court ending the year-long animosity between two warring faction Rana-led committee and Dhruba Bahadur Pradhan-led committee, which is recognized by International Olympic Committee (IOC).  


Following the decision, senior vice-president of the Rana-led committee, Kishor Bahadur Singh expressed his content and claimed that IOC will also recognize the committee. “There will be no parallel committee now”, Singh told Republica.


Following the verdict, the writ filed by Jeevan Ram Shrestha in 2017, Kishor Bahadur Singh in 2011 October and Umesh Bahadur Maskey in 2011 December have been scrapped.
