Jyoti Pyakhurel has challenged a  government decision to  dismiss her as treasurer of the Social Welfare Council at the Supreme Count. The high-profile appointee of  former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba challenged her dismissal only 10 months after her appointment for a four-year term.

A single bench of the Supreme Court issued a stay order Friday after Pyakhurel filed a writ; Prabha Subedi replaced Pyakhurel.
