Kathmandu: Vishwambhar Prasad Shrestha has been recommended as the Chief Justice. A member of the Council said that the meeting of the Constitutional Council held on Thursday recommended Shrestha, the most senior judge of the Supreme Court, as the Chief Justice.
Chief Justice Harikrishna Karki is compulsorily retiring from 20th Saun due to age limit. The council’s secretariat will now send Shrestha’s name to the parliamentary hearings special committee. If the name is approved by the committee, Shrestha will become the 31st Chief Justice.
