What happens to the impeachment motion registered against CJ Rana if HoR’s term expires?

KATHMANDU, July 12: The term of the current House of Representatives (HoR) is soon to expire. However, very little has been done to move the impeachment motion registered against Chief Justice (CJ) Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana.

According to Article 111 (10) of the Constitution of Nepal, even though the session of a House is prorogued while a Bill is under its consideration, deliberations on the Bill may continue at the succeeding session. Provided that if the House of Representatives is dissolved or its term expires when any Bill introduced in the House of Representatives is under its consideration or when any Bill passed by the House of Representatives is under consideration in the National Assembly, such Bill shall lapse.
