Regmi only govt chief for now: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that as long as Election Council Chairman Khil Raj Regmi is the top executive of the government, he will not be identified as Chief Justice of the apex court.

Responding to a writ petition filed by Advocate Chandrakanta Gyawali demanding that Regmi resign from the post of Chief Justice in view of the principles of separation of power, Justice Girish Chandra Lal made the ruling.

Chief Justice Regmi was appointed head of the Election Council on Thursday following an agreement among four major political forces. nepalnews.com
