Nepal Bar Association (NBA) and constitutional experts on Monday, February 11, 2013 formally urged President Dr. Ram Baran Yadav not to appoint chief justice Khil Raj Regmi as a new Prime Minister. "The Article 106 of interim constitution has clearly mentioned that the sitting CJ or justices should not be assigned for any task.
