flag Nepal’s Supreme Court reviews challenges to former Chief Justice Sushila Karki’s interim PM appointment and parliament’s dissolution, citing constitutional violations.

flag Nepal’s Supreme Court has received multiple petitions challenging the appointment of former Chief Justice Sushila Karki as interim prime minister and the dissolution of the House of Representatives, both enacted on September 12, 2025. flag Petitioners argue the actions violate constitutional provisions, including bans on former justices holding executive office and the requirement for the prime minister to be a lower house member. flag They also claim the dissolution contradicts prior rulings upholding the full term of the lower house and demand its reinstatement. flag The court, resuming limited operations after an arson incident, will consider the petitions jointly. flag The move followed a youth-led anti-corruption movement that ousted Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. flag Eight political parties have condemned the dissolution as unconstitutional. flag Constitutional experts warn that relying on emergency powers risks undermining the rule of law, though they stress that timely elections remain the only legitimate resolution to the political crisis.
