The amendment made in the Supreme Court Rules to reduce the discretionary power of Chief Justice Cholendra Shamsher Jabra has gained legitimacy.
Supreme Court (Second Amendment) Rules 2078 has been published in the Gazette on Monday. There is a legal provision that any government decision will get legitimacy only after it is published in the Gazette.
The full meeting of the Supreme Court held had amended that on the Supreme Court Rules 2074 by reducing the power of the Chief Justice to appoint the case. After the revised rules were published in the Gazette, the power of the Chief Justice to decide the case has been curtailed.
Rule 20 of the amended rules states, "For the hearing of a case registered in a court, a bench shall be constituted and a list of cases shall be determined by ballot."
