KATHMANDU: Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana has scheduled six writ petitions related to habeas corpus for hearing today.
The hearings on the cases of the supreme Court have been affected after SC Justices boycotted the benches. Chief Justice Rana has not assigned himself to any benches today.
Supreme Court Justices on Sunday formed a three-member talks team to hold a meeting with Chief Justice Rana. Justices Anil Kumar Sinha, Sapana Malla Pradhan and Dr Manoj Kumar Sharma are in the talks team. It is learnt that Chief Justice Rana has proposed for a graceful exit with the talks team.
Similarly, the Supreme Court which was scheduled to issue a final verdict on the writ petition filed against former prime ministers Madhav Kumar Nepal and Dr Baburam Bhattarai has been deferred.
A joint bench of Chief Justice Rana and Justice Nahakul Subedi on October 4 had heard and scheduled its final verdict for today.
The final verdict on the high-profile Lalita Niwas Land scam has been stalled since Justice Subedi is on leave. Subedi is in New Delhi-based Apollo Hospital for the treatment of his father, said Supreme Court.
