By KTM Metro Reporter
February 27, 2013: Secretary to the Constitutional Lawyers Forum Advocate Om Prakash Aryal filed a petition at the Supreme Court of Nepal yesterday stating that the deputation of the Chief Justice to the office of Prime Minister is against the Interim Constitution and separation of power and checks and balances. This is the second case filed against the Chief Justice Regmi’s deputation, according to HIMALAYAN NEWS SERVICE of yesterday.
The petitioner said that the statement released by the Supreme Court of Nepal concerning the acceptance of the offer of the four major political parties of the office of prime minister had violated the interim constitution and the principle of the independence of the judiciary and sought the apex court’s intervention to quash the press release and the decision of political parties to depute the CJ as Prime Minister.
The Office of the President, Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai, PM’s Office, Ministry of Law, Justice, Constituent Assembly and Federal Affairs, the Judicial Council, the UCPN-Maoist and Assistant Spokesperson for the Supreme Court of Nepal have been made defendants in the petition, according to HIMALAYAN NEWS SERVICE of yesterday.
