The writ petition was filed questioning Dr Kandel’s qualification for the post. A single bench of Justice Kumar Regmi issued the order on Thursday. Spokesperson at SC, Arjun Prasad Koirala, informed that both sides were called to discuss whether to issue interim order on April 30. Three separate writ petitions were filed on Wednesday against Kandel’s appointment to the post of Attorney General, to which, the SC issued a show cause order after preliminary hearing on Thursday.
