Hearing on controversy over Sah's candidacy on Sunday

Kathmandu, March 13: The Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing on Kishori Sah, the candidate representing the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) from Dhanusha constituency no 1 coming Sunday.     

The hearing was earlier scheduled to be conducted by a division bench of Justices Sharanga Subedi and Tek Prasad Dhungana on Friday. However, due to Justice Subedi's inability to preside the hearing on Sah's case, it has been postponed for Sunday. Subedi had issued an interim order in a separate case involving Sah on Thursday.     

The Election Commission announced the cancellation of Sah's candidacy on March 3, citing his status blacklisted by the Credit Information Centre. In response to the Commission's decision, Sah filed a writ petition at the Supreme Court, leading to a temporary halt to the enforcement of the decision to blacklist Sah.(RSS)
