Nepali Sansar<\/a> wishes the Honorable Chief Justice good luck for his new role!<\/p>\nChief Justice Rana Will Not Assign Cases to SJ Joshee<\/strong>
\nNewly-appointed Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana assumed office on January 02, 2018.<\/p>\nFollowing his appointment, Rana announced that he will not be assigning any cases to senior-most justice Deepak Raj Joshee at a press briefing.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the Parliamentary Hearing Committee (PHC) had rejected Joshee\u2019s nomination for the post of Chief Justice on August 03, 2018.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media, Rana said, \u201cI haven\u2019t assigned any case to senior-most justice Deepak Raj Joshee. I shall not assign him any cases in future either.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new Chief Justice explained that he took the decision following his commitment and respect for PHC.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven though he is my good friend and the senior-most justice, I took this stern decision because we need to respect the system and make headway with the problems facing the judiciary,\u201d he further said.<\/p>\n
Despite the presence of all the SC judges during the press briefing, Joshee was absent from the event.<\/p>\n
However, Joshee said that he would continue to come to office since he had a lot more to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cI shall come to office continuously because I still have so much I need to do,\u201d said Joshee<\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nBesides, Chief Justice Rana also assured media that the judiciary will be more stronger and united.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were not divided even in the past. There was no factionalism and groupism as such. But there is criticism at the level of the public that we are divided and that groupism was rife within the judiciary. Look at us here. We are all here at the press conference.\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
On his first day at work, Rana reshuffled benches for assigning cases to justices even when they could not hear many cases because of their busy schedule following the new CJ\u2019s appointment.<\/p>\n
Rana also asked media to deal sensitively with comments on tasks of judges and court activities while exercising their freedom of opinion on judicial matters.<\/p>\n
