April 19: The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday issued an interim order not to implement the government's decision to form a probe panel against Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Maha Prasad Adhikari until a final verdict.    
A single bench of SC Justice Hari Prasad Phuyal issued the order asking the government not to implement its decision relating to Governor Adhikari citing Article 132 (2) and 304 (1) of the Constitution of Nepal, and Clause 23 (1) of the Nepal Rastra Bank Act, 2058 BS.    
Adhikari had filed a writ petition on Sunday demanding the apex court to scrap the government's decision to form a panel to probe against him. Adhikari argued in the petition that the government formed the probe committee without giving him an opportunity for clarification.    
The Supreme Court issued the order after a preliminary hearing on the writ petition.    
The SC has also summoned both the sides on April 26 for discussions.    
Earlier, a meeting of the Council of Ministers on April 8 had decided to form a panel to probe into Governor Adhikari, leading to this automatic suspension from the post. -- RSS
