KATHMANDU: After the publication of the provisions of assigning cases to benches through the lottery system in the Nepal Gazette, the Supreme Court is adopting the new system from today.

The provision regarding the amendment of the rules made by the Supreme Court was published in the Nepal Gazette on Monday.

Earlier, a full-court meeting had amended the provisions curtailing the rights of the Chief Justice and depriving him of the right to assign cases to the benches of his choice.

CJ Rana had also agreed to such an arrangement and decided to implement it from November 30.

The judges were protesting for the past one month saying that there would be irregularities and opacity when the Chief Justice has the right to assign cases.

The Nepal Bar Association, on the other hand, has been agitating demanding the resignation of Chief Justice Rana.

The agitation against him had erupted after the news came out that Chief Justice Rana was also seeking a cabinet berth for his close ones in government.
