Nepal Bar Association President Prof. Dr. Vijayprasad Mishra has voiced strong opposition to the Supreme Court's reported move to abolish the lottery system for case assignments. Mishra warned that reviving the Chief Justice's direct case assignment would invite political influence into the judiciary and vowed to launch a strong protest if the lottery system is removed.

  • Mishra criticized the process of appointing the Chief Justice, stating it has become a practice of appointing individuals favored by the Prime Minister through the Constitutional Council.
  • He also commented on the mobilization of people to label critics of the government as 'Jhole'.
  • Supreme Court Justice Sunil Kumar Pokharel advised judges and lawyers to avoid social media on days they handle public interest cases to manage stress and avoid skewed perceptions.
  • A separate hearing is underway in the Supreme Court regarding petitions against the rejection of writs challenging the recommendation of Dr. Manoj Kumar Sharma as Chief Justice.
