Kathmandu / June 7: A writ petition has been filed in the Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday against the move of caretaker Prime Minister K P Oli to reshuffle his cabinet.
The petitioners have maintained that the caretaker government cannot expand or reshuffle the cabinet and demanded scrapping the reshuffle of the cabinet by Prime Minister Oli.
Senior Advocate Dinesh Tripathi, advocate Kanchan Krishna Neupane and other lawyers jointly filed the writ petition in the SC on Monday.
Earlier on Friday, PM Oli had reshuffled the cabinet, inducting 10 leaders from Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) and two others from his own party, CPN-UML.
