(Constitutional lawyer Bipin Adhikari dismissed the claim that the CA can be revived as per the Interim Constitution. “Such arguments don’t hold ground given that the CA expired as per the apex court verdict”. He said that the chapter concerning the CA in the Interim Constitution has come to an end after the term of the CA expired.He clarified that any move to revive the CA would be unconstitutional and seriously undermine the independence of the judiciary, as the apex court had already termed the last extension of CA as “final”.Adhikari also said that even the President does not have any right to amend the constitution.)
