Conflict in Judiciary Alleged Due to Government's Authoritarian Nature

Opposition parties accuse the government of increasing conflict in the judiciary due to its authoritarian nature, citing the recommendation of a junior judge for Chief Justice over the senior-most acting Chief Justice. Acting Chief Justice Sapana Pradhan Malla expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Supreme Court administration's refusal to register petitions. RSP MPs have publicly challenged Malla's actions, while opposition parties demand accountability from the Prime Minister regarding ordinances and parliamentary attendance.
