In Kathmandu, Chief Justice Prakashman Singh Raut has ordered the editor of ‘Nepali Pen Online’ to publish a statement regarding an alleged meeting with former King Gyanendra Shah. The directive comes in response to a claim made by the Chief Justice following his meeting with Shah.
The Supreme Court justices Abdul Aziz Muslim and Tek Prasad Dhungana’s bench issued this order on Wednesday, signaling the seriousness with which the judiciary views the matter. The requirement for the editor to publish a statement is aimed at clarifying the situation and ensuring transparency in the wake of the reported meeting between the Chief Justice and the former King.
Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, believes that this directive from Chief Justice Raut is a significant step towards upholding accountability and maintaining the integrity of the judiciary. He commends the move as a way to address concerns and uphold transparency within the legal system.
