"Look What's Happening In Neighbouring Nations": Top Court's Nepal Mention

Violent protests in Nepal this week (and in Bangladesh in July last year) found mention in the Supreme Court Wednesday afternoon during the hearing of a presidential reference on the court's April 12 order, which set deadlines on President Droupadi Murmu and Governors to clear states' bills.
