Chief Justice Sushila Karki bade farewell to her colleagues on Tuesday, a day before her official retirement. She is retiring tomorrow because of age limit.
The first woman Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Sushila Karki had assumed office on July 11 last year. She was the 25th Chief Justice of Nepal’s judiciary.
Karki’s term remained highly controversial as she made some high profile decisions involving impeachment case on chief of constitutional anti-graft body CIAA, IGP appointment case, and government decision to increase local units, among others.
With Karki’s retirement, senior most Justice Gopal Parajuli will become the acting Chief Justice.
