KATHMANDU:- The Supreme Court on Monday issued an interlocutory order not to immediately implement the decision to dismiss the student organisations at the universities.

A single bench of Justice Shreekanta Paudel issued this order. The SC has called both sides for discussions on this matter on May 18.

The SC has asked to submit a written response as well as a copy of the writ petition through the Office of the Attorney General within 15 days of receiving the notice, excluding travel time.

Leaders of the student organisations, including the Chairperson of the All Nepal National Free Students’ Union, Deepak Dhami, had filed the writ petition against the decision to dismantle the student organisations, making the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers a defendant.
