Constitutional Council Recommends Dr. Manoj Kumar Sharma for Chief Justice, Bypassing Seniority

Kathmandu. The Constitutional Council meeting has decided to send the name of Dr. Manoj Kumar Sharma, who is in fourth seniority among the six names sent by the Judicial Council, to the parliamentary hearing committee for the post of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

In the past, the Constitutional Council used to recommend the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court based on seniority. This time, the Constitutional Council meeting has recommended Dr. Sharma's name for Chief Justice by bypassing the seniority order.
