Supreme Court of Nepal Halts Government Move to Dissolve University Student Unions
Report from Nepal
Nepal’s Supreme Court has issued an interim order blocking the government’s decision to dissolve student unions at universities across the country.
The government had recently announced plans to abolish student organizations operating within higher education institutions. In response, eight student unions jointly filed a petition challenging the decision in the Supreme Court.
The court’s temporary order prevents the policy from being implemented until further legal review. The case has triggered national debate over student representation, political participation on university campuses, and democratic freedoms in Nepal’s education sector.
