SC Issues Show Cause Order on Ghising’s Writ Petition

The Supreme Court has issued a show cause order in response to the writ petition filed by Kulman Ghising, the outgoing Managing Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority.

A single bench of Justice Abdul Aziz Musalman issued the order during a hearing on Ghising’s petition, which challenges the government’s decision to remove him from his position.

The court has asked the government to submit a written response and has scheduled a discussion on the matter for March 31.

Ghising was dismissed from his post by a recent Cabinet decision, which appointed Hitendra Dev Shakya in his place, four months before Ghising’s scheduled retirement.
