n Nepal , the Supreme Court has issued a stay order on the ongoing recruitment process for Army officers.

A single bench of Justice Tahir Ali Ansari issued the interim order yesterday which effectively bars the Nepal Army to conduct any further exams for Army officer candidates who passed written exams recently.

The Apex court issued the order in response to a writ petition filed by Rakesh Yadav against the publication of result of written exams for officer level in the Army on July 25.

In the petition, he argued that Nepal Army conducted the exams only for candidates under the open category but not for those under inclusive category.
