Senior Advocate Baburam Dahal Discusses Chief Justice Recommendation

Kathmandu. The recommendation of Justice Dr. Manoj Kumar Sharma, who is ranked fourth, as the Chief Justice has created debate in legal and political circles. Some have called it a step against the independence, professionalism, and established norms of the judiciary, while others argue that the Supreme Court's 'setting' has been broken.

Independent individuals claim that the recommendation was made in accordance with Article 129, Sub-article three of the constitution, and therefore cannot be called unconstitutional. They argue that capable and qualified individuals like Sapana Pradhan Malla, Hari Phuyal, and Kumar Regmi became 'victims' due to the wrong 'setting'.
