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.
