The Supreme Court today ordered the government not to induct Bamdev Gautam in the Cabinet or assign him any such post till the apex court issued another order in the case

Registrar Bhadrakali Pokharel said Gautam would not be able to act as a member of the National Assembly until September 30 when the court would decide whether or not it should issue an interim order on a petition challenging Gautam’s appointment to the NA. Gautam was recently nominated to the National Assembly by the president on the government’s recommendation.  One of the petitioners told THT that the apex court raised moral question against Gautam’s nomination, making it difficult for Gautam to shoulder responsibility as a member of the Upper House. 

The court also referred the case to the constitutional bench and issued a show cause notice to the government.  The order was passed by a single bench of Justice Ananda Mohan Bhattarai in response to a writ petition filed by Senior Advocate Dinesh Tripathi, challenging the government’s decision to nominate Gautam to the Upper House. Tripathi had sought an interim order against Gautam, urging the court to bar him from acting as NA member and becoming a minister. The bench observed that since such a case was filed at the apex court for the first time, a decision should be taken on the basis of constitutionalism. The bench referred the case to the constitutional bench saying there were constitutional questions to be settled in the case. question of accountability to the sovereign people, democratic methods, constitutional policies and the principle of constitutional morality so that the court could set a permanent constitutional value regarding all those issues.
