Supreme Court Seniority Questioned After New Chief Justice Appointment

Questions have arisen regarding the senior-most judge at the Supreme Court following the appointment of Dr. Manoj Kumar Sharma as Chief Justice. The Judicial Council initially listed Sapana Malla Pradhan as senior-most but later removed her name, citing a lack of clear information. The bypass of seniority in Sharma's appointment has led to uncertainty about the designation of the senior-most judge, a position that holds significant roles within judicial bodies.
