By TRN Online, Kathmandu, June 22: Hearing on the writ petition filed against the cabinet reshuffle is taking place today in a joint bench of Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana and Justice Prakash Kumar Dhungana.

Senior advocate Dinesh Kumar Tripathi had filed a writ petition in the SC against Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli's move to reshuffle and expand the cabinet twice, seeking to nullify the reshuffle.

A writ petition citing that Prime Minister Oli's was just a caretaker government after the dissolution of the House of Representatives (HoR) and his move to reshuffle the cabinet was unconstitutional was filed by senior advocate Tripathi. The petition demanded revocation of PM Oli's decision.
