Parliamentary Hearing Concludes for Proposed Supreme Court Justice Gokarna Dangi Amidst Scrutiny

Kathmandu. The parliamentary hearing for Gokarna Dangi, a high court judge recommended by the Judicial Council for the position of Supreme Court Justice, has been completed. In the hearing held at Singhdarbar on Saturday, members of parliament showered questions regarding the rampant corruption in the judiciary, the influence of middlemen, the dismal state of verdict implementation, and issues raised about his personal performance.

During the hearing, members of parliament particularly grilled the proposed justice Dangi about the 'land pooling' (land consolidation) dispute in Tulsipur, Dang, the suspicious trend of verdicts being overturned, and the declining public trust in the judiciary.
