The Parliamentary Hearing Committee has decided to seek public complaints against the Supreme Court Justice nominee Binod Sharma.

A meeting of the committee held in Singha Durbar on Friday decided to call for complaints within ten days after publishing a notice.

A meeting of the Judicial Council held on Sunday had nominated Sharma as Justice at the apex court.

The committee meeting decided to call for complaints as the council sent a letter to the parliamentary panel to conduct a hearing, said lawmaker Pashupati Shumsher Rana who chaired the meeting.

Sharma will face a parliamentary hearing after the committee investigates complaints filed within the period.

Article 292 of the constitution requires the chief justice, justices, and those nominated to constitutional commissions and ambassadorial posts to pass parliamentary hearings before they take the oath of the positions.

Only a two-thirds majority of the 15-member committee can reject the nomination.
