Lawmakers Can Break Anything At Parliament Hall With Impunity
By KTM Metro Reporter
July 11, 2013: s bench comprising the acting chief justice of Supreme Court of Nepal Damodar Prasad Sharma and Justice Prakash Basti has ruled yesterday that the Constituent Assembly Rules have no provision for charging its member the compensation for the damage done by them to any physical settings at the constituent assembly hall; so, the bench ordered the secretariat of the Constituent Assembly to return the compensation taken from the then CA member Sanjay Kumar Shah for the damage of three microphones done by him for not allowing him to speak in the CA for a month, as his party did not give him a permission; and the bench also ruled that the CA member don’t need permission from the concerned political parties for speaking in the CA, according to the news in ‘gorkhapatra’ of today.
From now on, members of the future CA can break any thing they like, and they don’t need to pay compensation for the damages done to any physical properties of the assembly hall. They also can speak without getting the permission from the concerned political party. What a freedom!
CA member Sanjay Kumar Shah had paid Rs 90,000 as the compensation for breaking three microphones at the heat of anger at not allowing him to speak for a month. On the pretext of not having the permission from the Shah’s political party called Madheshi People’s Rights Forum-democratic the then speaker Subhas Nemwang did not permit him to speak at the assembly.
Next time, Mr. Shah has freedom of breaking as many microphones as he could, and even chairs if he likes, and then he can speak as much as he likes without the permission of his party if he is still with the party. Enjoy breaking microphones; you have law on your side.
