The Supreme Court has issued an interim order not to immediately implement the government's decision to recall the ambassadors.

A joint bench of Supreme Court Justices Sharanga Subedi and Shrikant Poudel on Sunday issued the order.

Earlier on October 16, the government had decided to recall the ambassadors from 11 different countries. 

Meanwhile, journalist Sunil Bhattarai had filed a writ petition demanding that the decision be scrapped. 

The Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were made the defendants.
