Nepal, March 28 -- The Supreme Court has issued a show cause order regarding the writ petition filed by the outgoing Managing Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority, Kulman Ghising.

A single bench of Justice Abdul Aziz Musalman, which is hearing the writ petition, issued the show cause order. Ghising had filed the writ petition seeking a final order from the apex court against the government's decision to remove him from his post.

The Supreme Court has asked the government to submit a written reply and has scheduled a discussion on the matter for March 31.

In a recent Cabinet meeting, Hitendra Dev Shakya was appointed to replace Ghising, who was dismissed four months before his retirement.
