Hours after the Supreme Court (SC)’s interim order, Chief Justice Sushila Karki has resumed the office from this evening.
The SC this afternoon had directed the Legislature-Parliament to put on hold the impeachment motion filed against Karki and reinstate her to the office.
“Chief Justice Karki will sign some official document today,” SC assistant spokesperson Bishwo Raj Paudel said, adding, “She will start the legal works from Sunday.”
As many as 249 lawmakers from the two big ruling parties—Nepali Congress and CPN (Maoist Centre)—on Sunday registered a motion at the Parliament Secretariat seeking to impeach Karki, charging her with infringing upon the executive’s jurisdiction and nurturing factionalism in the judiciary.
