SC hearing writ against the prohibitory decision today

KATHMANDU: A hearing is being held today in the Supreme Court regarding the District Administration Office of Kathmandu’s decision to issue a ban order on Maitighar Mandala in Kathmandu.

Advocate Swagat Nepal filed a writ case at the Supreme Court Monday, claiming that the prohibitory order was decided to restrict citizens’ freedom to freely assemble without arms.

The writ petition requests that the local administration’s decision be reversed that the prohibitory order decision be removed, as well as that residents be allowed to demonstrate peacefully.

District Administration Office Kathmandu announced a prohibited area for 30 days from Padmodaya mode of Putalisadak in Kathmandu through Supreme Court to New Baneshwor last Monday.
