KATHMANDU, Feb 7: The Supreme Court has ordered the federal parliament secretariat to share information on the application it filed for vacating the ruling on dissolution of Parliamentary Constituency Development Fund. 

The apex court has ordered the parliament secretariat to provide information to the writ petitioners, including Trilok Bahadur Chand, who had requested the court to dissolve the fund.

The constitutional bench comprising Chief Justice Bishwambhar Prasad Shrestha and justices Ishwor Prasad Khatiwada, Prakashman Singh Raut, Sapana Pradhan Malla and Sushma Lata Mathema issued the order on Wednesday.  

Earlier, advocate Trilok Bahadur Chand among others had filed a writ petition at SC, demanding it to issue an order against the government's decision to allocate budget for the federal constituency development programme. In response to the writ petition, SC had earlier issued an interim order in the name of the federal parliament secretariat and government to postpone the budget allocation under the fund.

However, Joint Secretary at the federal parliament secretariat, Laxmi Prasad Gautam, later filed an application at the SC for vacating the interim order. 

The SC has asked the defendants to provide information relating to the annulment application to the writ petitioners.
