The Nepal Bar Association is staging a lantern protest in broad daylight to object to the Supreme Court of Nepal administration's refusal to register writ petitions and applications, which they claim obstructs justice. The association stated that the court administration has returned several petitions without registration, despite an order from the acting Chief Justice to proceed, creating a significant barrier to legal remedies.

  • Lawyers gathered at the Bar premises to symbolically seek justice, reason, and a fair legal process.
  • The Bar cited the Judicial Administration Act 2016 and Supreme Court Rules 2017 in their argument against the administration's actions.
  • The protest is scheduled for 1:15 PM on May 19 at the Nepal Bar Association premises.
  • The association expressed concern over comments made by some members in the House of Representatives regarding the issue.
  • The Bar described the administration's refusal to follow the acting Chief Justice's order as 'extraordinary and unnatural'.
