Also, through a writ, an appropriate order including a mandate has been requested to the President to certify the bill in accordance with Article 113, Clause 4 of the Constitution. Advocates Sagar Baral and Sougatraj Baral, Avinesh Adhikari and all of Basnet went to register the writ against President Bhandari on Wednesday.
