Advocate Dr Gyan Basnet and Shyam Krishna Maskey attempted to register the petition against the transitional justice (TJ) Bill. The SC administration dismissed the petition stating that the bill is not fit for hearing as it was under the drafting process.
The TJ bill, which was passed by a majority of the House of Representatives (HoR), has also been endorsed by the National Assembly, the upper house of parliament.
