Govt shelves vehicle plying
rule
Post Report
KATHMANDU, March 25 : The government today said
that it has withdrawn its ‘odd-even-plying rule’ for vehicles for the time
being.
In a press statement issued here today the
Ministry of Labour and Transportation Management said that the government has taken the
decision, following the Supreme Court’s interim order to revoke the decision today.
Earlier today, the Supreme Court issued an
interim order to revoke the government decision of ‘odd-even-plying rule’ of
vehicles following writ petitions filed yesterday.
A single bench of the Chief Justice Kedar Nath
Upadhyaya in its order stated that the government decision was taken without formulating
any laws.
The court order asked the Attorney General to
withdraw the decision until a final dissolution of the case.
Since the decision of allowing the plying of
odd-numbered vehicles on odd dates and even-numbered vehicles on even dates was against
the fundamental rights of the public, the decision should be immediately retracted, the
order said.
