Kathmandu, June 16
The Parliamentary Hearing Committee has unanimously endorsed Hari Krishna Karki to become the chief justice of the Supreme Court.
The committee approved Karki’s name after a two-day hearing. Karki, who submitted his action plan on Thursday, had a question and answer session on Friday.
Following the questions and answer session, the committee unanimously endorsed Karki. He will be appointed the next chief justice by President Ram Chandra Paudel.
Karki is currently the acting chief justice of the Supreme Court. The Constitutional Council nominated Karki for the chief justice’s position on May 9.
Since the impeachment position filed against former chief justice Cholendra Shamsher Rana in February 2022, the Supreme Court is headless.
