Nepal’s Chief Justice Refuses to Step Down
Nepal Supreme Court Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana has refused to resign from his post amidst allegations that he helped his brother-in-law secure a berth in the Sher Bahadur Deuba-led Cabinet, triggering an unusual judicial crisis.
A section of the Supreme Court justices has demanded Chief Justice Rana’s resignation while some lawyers have decided to boycott the apex court.
During a meeting with 15 apex court justices, Rana said that he is not going to step down just because voices were raised in the streets and in the media for him to quit the top post. PTI
