Justice Deepak Raj Joshee resigns over ‘humiliating work environment’



KATHMANDU: Controversial Justice of the Supreme Court of Nepal Deepak Raj Joshee has tendered his resignation on Tuesday.

Joshee submitted his resignation to President Bidya Devi Bhandari through Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana.

“I have resigned from the post effective from today since I did not get conducive work environment at the office and felt often humiliated,” Joshee told Khabarhub.

Senior-most Justice Deepak Raj Joshee had assumed the responsibility as acting Chief Justice after Judicial Council Secretariat handed Gopal Prasad Parajuli a retirement letter on 14 March 2018.

Justice  Joshee had been on leave after the Parliamentary Hearing Special Committee (PHSC) did not endorse his name as the Chief Justice on August 3, last year.

He had resumed office on September 11, the same year.
