The court on Thursday ordered the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet to issue circulars to all line agencies and offices asking them to strictly follow the court rulings and cooperate with the courts in delivering justice.

A division bench of Justices Anup Raj Sharma and Kalyan Shrestha further warned that it would initiate legal action against any office or department found ignoring the court orders.
