There is a provision of a five-member Constitutional Bench to settle the disputes over constitutional matters. The newly-formed bench includes  justices Dipak Kumar Karki, Aanand Mohan Bhattarai, Tej Bahadur KC and Bam Kumar Shrestha, besides the chief justice. 


As many as 30 writ petitions have been registered at the SC against President Bidya Devi Bhandari’s May 22 move to dissolve the lower house of parliament. The initial hearing on 19 of such petitions was conducted by the CJ Rana-led bench on Thursday. The single bench, however, forwarded the writ petitions to the Constitutional Bench for further hearing.
