Supreme Court Employees Refuse Acting Chief Justice's Order on Writ Registration

Supreme Court employees refused an order from Acting Chief Justice Sapana Pradhan Malla to register a writ petition challenging the Constitutional Council's recommendation for Chief Justice. The Constitutional Council had recommended Justice Dr. Manoj Kumar Sharma over Acting Chief Justice Malla. Senior Advocate Dinesh Tripathi, a petitioner, stated that the non-registration of the petition against the rejection is an unprecedented and questionable event in Nepal's judicial history, potentially interfering with the judiciary's independence.
