NBA asks HM the King to be ready to resolve present crisis
The Nepal Bar Association (NBA) has urged His Majesty the King to be ready to resolve the present political and constitutional crises in the country. The Association has also hailed the Supreme Court (SC)'s verdict to scrap the controversial Royal Commission for Corruption Control (RCCC) saying that it has upheld the sovereign right of the people.
Speaking at a press conference organised by the NBA to announce its four-day convention starting March 1 to mark golden jubilee of its establishment, NBA president Shambhu Thapa said, “The court verdict is praiseworthy, and everyone should respect it.”
The slogan of the conference is “Human Rights and Rule of Law: Inclusive Democracy and Conflict Management”.
He also made it clear that the NBA this time did not demand any support from the government to hold the convention.
Thapa said the NBA would not invite Chief Justice Dilip Kumar Paudel or ad hoc Justice Pawan Kumar Ojha as guests at the convention of the lawyers’ body.
“We will present our demand to the King, asking him to resolve the crisis in the country,” reports quoted NBA general secretary Madhav Banskota as saying.
According to NBA, more than three thousand lawyers are expected to take part in the conference.
More than 100 working papers will be presented on the occasion ranging from the Constitution, present state of conflict and its management, independent Judiciary and challenges to business law, among others. nepalnews.com pb Feb 25 06
