KATHMANDU: The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday issued an interim order not to immediately implement the government’s decision to form a probe panel against Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Maha Prasad Adhikari.

A single bench of SC Justice Hari Prasad Phuyal issued the order asking the government not to implement its decision to suspend Governor Adhikari.

Earlier on Sunday, Adhikari had filed a writ petition at the apex court demanding to scrap the government’s decision suspend I’m.

The SC has also summoned both sides on April 26 for discussions.

Earlier, a meeting of the Council of Ministers held on April 8 had decided to form a panel to probe into Governor Adhikari, leading to this automatic suspension from the post.
