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.
