The constitutional bench of Nepal's Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana today ruled that cases field against the dissolution of the House of Representatives would be heard by the same bench continuously from Sunday.

The SC passed the order after hearing arguments of the 13 petitioners, who had challenged the dissolution of the HoR, and the defendants. The bench said the case could not be referred to a grand full bench as serious constitutional issues were to be settled.

Petitioners had argued that the case should be referred to an 11-member grand full bench or a larger bench as justices hearing the case would have to review two precedents set by 11-member benches of the Supreme Court in the 1990s.
