Rana has called a meeting of the Judicial Service Commission for Wednesday to select district court judges. Members have yet to decide whether to attend the meeting.

About two months since the crisis in the judiciary started to unfold, following a revolt by justices against Cholendra Shumsher Rana, the chief justice appears to have started to up his ante, just as lawyers' protest continues.
