Nepal’s top court serves contempt notices to PM Oli

KATHMANDU: Nepal’s Supreme Court has issued two contempt of court notices to caretaker Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, demanding he explain why he mocked lawyers challenging his decision to dissolve parliament and call early polls. The contempt of court suits are the latest challenges for the beleaguered leader after being expelled from his party earlier this week. The top court has ordered Oli to “present his written replies within seven days”, a court official told Reuters.
