Speaking to the media after meeting the Prime Minister, NBA President Gopal Krishna Ghimire said that since the Prime Minister is also the Chairman of the Constitutional Council, the NBA drew attention to take the initiative of appointing the Chief Justice immediately.
Ghimire also said that Prime Minister Dahal said that he is taking initiatives for the appointment of the Chief Justice and will soon reach a concrete conclusion. He said that due to the lack of appointment of the Chief Justice, the credibility of the Judiciary has fallen, and since the Supreme Court has been run by acting Chief Justice for about 14 months, there is difficulty in the administration of justice.
