SC issued directive order

The Supreme Court Thursday issued a directive order to submit report on minimising the use of tear gas during mass demonstration by forming a committee of experts from health, environment, science and education sectors.

A special bench comprising SC justices Balram K.C., Khil Raj Regmi and Gauri Dhakal issued the order in response to a writ petition filed by Dhanjaya Khanal claiming that the provision to use tear gas contravenes with Article 12 (1) of the Constitution of 1990.
