Nepal’s Supreme Court has ordered an immediate halt to the government’s decision to recall nearly a dozen ambassadors, a move seen as a setback for Prime Minister Sushila Karki and her interim administration.

Court Ruling Challenges Government Decision

According to lawyer Ananta Raj Luitel, who brought the case against the government, the court found that the administration failed to justify its claims of poor performance against the ambassadors. Karki’s government had announced the recall of 11 envoys, including those posted to China, the United States, Britain and Japan.

“The government could not justify its charges against the ambassadors in the court,” Luitel told Reuters. He confirmed that all ambassadors would continue their duties as usual.
