SC quashes writ against nine-point agreement

KATHMANDU: The Supreme Court on Friday quashed a writ which had demanded that the nine-point agreement signed between CPN-UML and UCPN-Maoist be stayed.
A single bench of Acting Chief Justice Sushila Karki quashed the writ filed by five persons reasoning the apex court did not need to intervene into the agreement signed between two political parties.
The petitioners in their writ of certiorari had stated that the two parties’ agreement to withdraw conflict era cases and to accelerate the process of amending the relevant laws within 15 days was against the verdicts delivered by the Supreme Court.
