Advocate Om Prakash Aryal on June 13, filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court (SC) challenging the Constitutional Council Act (Amendment) Ordinance issued on May 4, saying the Government issued the ordinance evading the Parliament, reports The Himalayan Times. The petitioner said the ordinance was prima facie wrong as it allowed the Government to make appointments in the constitutional bodies without any oversight. The petitioner also urges the court to invalidate all the appointments made under the ordinance and to quash it by staying implementation of the ordinance till the final verdict. He argued that the new ordinance attempted to render constitutional process and provisions ineffective and thus undermined constitutionalism, checks and balances, impartiality, accountability and transparency.
