Personally I am in favour of CA revival because it will save time, cost, it will prevent polarization of society, and it will definitely guarantee Constitution. Prashant Jha, in his article, also fears of some kind of uncertainty if new election is held. He writes:
Elections are more democratic and will accurately reflect the new balance of forces. But the outcome is almost certain to be fragmented. Will the next house, which will consists of parties who have fought elections purely on positions of federalism, be able to throw up a document of compromise? The interim constitution did not envisage that CA would not produce a constitution, but Nepal no longer has that luxury of not contemplating failure; how will it deal with a scenario where a social contract is not drawn again. And listening to the conservatives — those who mythologize the 90s and want to go back to that period — will not work. Radical democrats, republicans, federalists and secularists will wage a battle for survival to protect existing achievements.
On Oct 28, 2012, the retired judges of Supreme Court have suggested to go for fresh CA election rather than to opt for the revival of CA.
