Kathmandu: Nepal’s Supreme Court has issued a short-term interim order halting the government’s decision to dismiss Sharad Ojha, Chairman of the Nepal Insurance Authority.
On Monday, a single bench of Justice Saranga Subedi issued the interim order, instructing that the dismissal decision not be implemented immediately. The Court also summoned both parties for a hearing on the interim petition.
Ojha had filed a writ petition with the Supreme Court a day after the government removed him from his position.
The bench ordered the government not to move ahead with the dismissal decision or initiate the process of appointing a new chairman until further court proceedings.
Meanwhile, 14 candidates have already applied for the post of Chairman at the Authority.
