Nepal Interim Government Notice: In a significant political development, the Supreme Court of Nepal on Wednesday (03 December 2025) has issued notice to the interim government in connection with the petition filed by ousted Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s party CPN-UML. The petition challenges the decision to form an interim government and dissolve the House of Representatives, terming these decisions as ‘illegal’.

According to Supreme Court officials, the Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court has directed all the defendants in the case to submit their written explanations within seven days through the Attorney General’s office. The bench was led by Chief Justice Prakashman Singh Raut. The bench also ordered that this new petition will be heard along with the already pending cases to dissolution of the House and formation of the interim government.

Serious allegations on the formation of interim government

The petition specifically questions the decision to appoint former Chief Justice Sushila Karki as interim Prime Minister. CPN-UML has claimed that Karki’s appointment is a direct violation of the Constitution. According to the petition, this appointment violates Articles 76 and 132(2) of the Constitution. It has been argued that Sushila Karki is neither a member of Parliament nor does she have the right to accept this post as a former Chief Justice.

Demand to reinstate Parliament

CPN-UML, in its petition, has sought cancellation of the President’s decision to appoint Karki as Prime Minister, as well as cancellation of cabinet appointments and all subsequent decisions. Apart from this, the party has demanded withdrawal of the order of dissolution of the House and restoration of the Parliament.

Events regarding dissolution of Parliament

Let us tell you that former Chief Justice Sushila Karki was appointed interim Prime Minister on September 12. On his recommendation, President Ramchandra Paudel dissolved the Parliament. Along with dissolving Parliament, the President also announced that the upcoming general elections in the country will be held on March 5, 2026.

massive violent demonstrations

The background to the dissolution of Parliament was political instability. In fact, it became necessary to hold elections after Prime Minister Oli was removed from the post on September 9. The development came as massive violent protests by Gen Z took place in the country. These protests were held over corruption and demanding the lifting of the ban on social media, resulting in the death of 76 people in two days.

The Supreme Court’s notice on the petition, filed by Oli’s party CPN-UML, shows that the legitimacy and constitutional processes of the interim government in Nepal are still under intense legal scrutiny and the political crisis continues.
