Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

July 21: The Supreme Court has sought a written response from the government on its financial arrangement for the constituency development fund.    
A single bench of Justice Hari Prasad Phuyal issued a show cause notice to the government after conducting a preliminary hearing on a writ petition on Thursday.

Finance Minister Prakash Sharan Mahat, Office of the Prime Minister, and Finance Ministry, among others have been demanded written response on why Rs 50 million was allocated to the constituency development fund through the recent budget.    
In the budget speech (point no 445) announced on May 29, the government included the controversial provision of allocating Rs 50 million to a constituency.

A writ petition was filed against this arrangement, arguing that it was a wrong trend to distribute money to lawmakers at a time when the country was facing economic crisis. -- RSS
