NBA expresses objection over SC spokesperson’s statement on CJ-led govt

Nepal Bar Association has expressed serious objection over Supreme Court Assistant Spokesperson’s statement that Chief Justice Khil Raj Regmi is positive towards the proposal put forward by the major political parties to form an election government under the head of the judiciary.

Calling an emergency meeting at the Association’s office Tuesday morning, office bearers and former presidents of NBA expressed their disapproval over SC spokesperson’s official statement over the four-party proposition.

The meeting also decided to formally protest the possibility of formation of Chief Justice-led election government, saying that a government led by head of the judiciary will be against the principle of division of powers.

SC Assistant Spokesperson Hemanta Rawal had said on Monday that CJ Regmi has no personal desire to be head of the government, but has taken a recent proposal put forward by the major political parties positively. In a statement, Rawal said that the CJ understands that the proposal's main objective is to end the political and constitutional crisis facing the country. nepalnews.com
