Kathmandu, March 19:

The Supreme Court Golden Jubilee Celebrations committee today decided to invite King Gyanendra to participate in the concluding session of the three-day fete on May 20-22.

“We have decided to invite the King to grace the reception on the concluding day but we will reschedule programme if the King is interested to address the session,” a member of the Committee Dhruba Nath Pant said.

“We cannot decide whether the King is ready to address the session, an important function in the history of the Supreme Court, so we will wait for a response from the King,” Pant, also the president of the Supreme Court Bar Association, said.
