The Parliamentary Hearing Committee (PHC) on Sunday  conducted hearing on two proposed justices of the Supreme Court.

The Committee conducted the hearing on senior advocate  Megh Raj Pokharel and Chief Judge of High Court Janakpur, Shreekanta Poudel. 

Stating that there is a big gap between the theory and practical exercise, committee member Janardan Sharma shared the reality that development construction activities were affected while delivering decisions by the judiciary on the cases against the principle of separation of powers.  

Similarly, another member Shyam Kumar Ghimire commented that a tendency of keeping the political cases aside has increased. 

Likewise, committee members—Mahesh Kumar Bartaula, Gyanendra Bahadur Karki, Dol Prasad (DP) Aryal, Jag Prasad Sharma, Leela Shrestha and Sunita Baral raised various questions to the proposed justices.  

They stressed that justices should present themselves strongly to maintain good governance in the judiciary. 

A meeting of the Judicial Council held on June 13 had recommended senior advocate Pokharel, Judge Poudel and another Judge Shanti Singh Thapa for parliamentary hearing.
