The royal palace recently conveyed to the Supreme Court (SC) that King Gyanendra will not attend the three-day-long golden jubilee celebrations of the Supreme Court that will begin on May 21.
The Himalayan Times daily quoted SC Bar Association President, Dhruba Nath Pant, who is also a member of the golden jubilee celebration preparation committee as saying that the SC informed the committee that the King would not attend the fest.
“The officiating SC Registrar Dr Ram Krishna Timalsena Tuesday informed that the King will not attend,” Pant said on Wednesday.
The SC had invited the King to participate in the concluding session of the convention.
