The Supreme Court has issued a show cause order on the writ petition filed by outgoing Managing Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority, Kul Man Ghising.

A single bench of Justice Abdul Aziz Musalman conducting hearing on the writ petition issued the show cause order. 

Ghising had filed a writ petition seeking a final order from the apex court against the government's decision of removing him from post. 

Asking the government to submit a written reply, the SC has today called both sides for discussion on March 31 on the issue.

The recently held Cabinet meeting appointed Hitendra Dev Shakya by dismissing Ghising from the post four months before his retirement.
