Govt. committed to make judicial service more effective: Minister Gurung

Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Dhanraj Gurung shared that there were plans for reforms in the judicial sector and the Supreme Court was active to set a timeline to clear the backlog of cases at the earliest.

Responding to the queries of parliamentarians in Monday's meeting of the House of Representatives, Minister Gurung said that a strategy is being developed to settle old and arrears cases.

On a different note, Gurung assured that the appointment of the Justices would be done in a fair manner and there will not be politically-driven sharing of seats while appointing the Justice.
