Petition in Supreme Court: Demands to vacate the post of Speaker and Deputy Speaker

Advocate Kishore Paudel, Anupam Bhattarai, Jagannath Dulal and others have filed a writ in the Supreme Court, demanding to vacate the posts of Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives.

According to the provisions of Article 91 (6) (a) of the Constitution, the petitioner demands that the posts of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker should be vacated as their posts remain in place until the day before the filing of nominations for the next election to be held for the House of Representatives.

They claim that since the parties have submitted a closed list for proportional MPs, retaining the posts of Speaker and Deputy Speaker is against the constitution. It has been demanded that service facilities should also be stopped until the final decision of the petition is made, as it will be an extreme misuse of resources if they remain in the post .

In order to prevent the Speaker and Deputy Speaker from abusing the resources and services received by the State until the end of the petition, an interim order should be issued in the name of the opponent in accordance with Rule 49 of the Supreme Court Rules, 2074 to prevent them from using the services provided by the State while they are in that position. ‘, the petition demanded.
