KATHMANDU: District Court Judge Parashuram Bhattarai has submitted his resignation following the Judicial Council’s investigation on him.

According to the Joint Spokesperson of the Supreme Court, Govinda Ghimire, Bhattarai conveyed his resignation to the Chief Justice through the Judicial Council on Friday.

“He tendered his resignation on Friday. However, further action on this matter has not progressed,” he stated.

It is a procedural requirement to approve the resignation of a judge after the submission.
