RSP lawmakers object to Acting CJ Malla’s writ petition directive

Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Party lawmakers have objected to Acting Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Sapana Pradhan Malla’s directive to register a petition at the Supreme Court contrary to legal precedence and practice. 

Speaking at the Parliament meeting, Samiksha Baskota and Yagyamani Neupane expressed the view that the order to register a writ petition against the decision of the Constitutional Council on the recommendation of the  next Chief Justice was inappropriate. 

Stating that although they were clear that the independent judiciary should carry out its works independently, they expressed disagreement with actions taken outside the administration of justice.

Then after the lawmakers from the CPN-UML raised objections to the statements made by the RSP lawmakers, arguing that they were contrary to the rules of procedure that prohibit discussion on judicial matters in Parliament.
