Proposed Supreme Court Justice Janak Pandey States Relatives' Cases Cannot Be Heard

Kathmandu. Proposed Supreme Court Justice Janak Pandey has stated that no judge can hear cases of their relatives. He claims that even though his land-related case is under consideration in the Supreme Court, the case will not be affected by his appointment as a judge.

Responding in the parliamentary hearing committee on Saturday, Pandey said that no judge would compromise their career and deliver a verdict under anyone's influence. He also informed that his family had already been acquitted by the Special Court in the land-related case.
