Kathmandu Nepal — 14 October 2025

The Supreme Court of Nepal has received five separate petitions challenging the recent dissolution of the federal parliament. The writs were filed on Tuesday by several advocates, calling the government’s move unconstitutional and demanding that no long-term decisions be made by the current caretaker administration.

Advocate Kirtinath Sharma Poudel, one of the petitioners, stated that since the government is now in a caretaker role, it should refrain from making any decisions that could have lasting implications on national governance or policy.

The dissolution of parliament came after Prime Minister Sushila Karki, who assumed office following the GenZ movement, recommended the move to President Ramchandra Paudel. Acting on her recommendation, the President announced midterm elections for March 5 (Falgun 21).

According to the Supreme Court administration, all the petitions are currently under preliminary study. The Court is expected to form a constitutional bench to hear the case if it determines that the matter has significant constitutional implications.

Political analysts note that the outcome of this case could set a major precedent for Nepal’s parliamentary system, testing the limits of executive authority under the constitution.
