Kathmandu: Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) lawmaker Yagya Mani Neupane has questioned the role of the judiciary after the Special Court ordered the release of CPN-UML Vice Chair Bishnu Prasad Paudel on regular bail in a money laundering case.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, Neupane said recent developments had made it clear that restructuring the judiciary had become inevitable.
He argued that good governance and the fight against corruption would not be possible without fundamental reforms to the judicial system.
Neupane also expressed concern that public confidence in the justice system was weakening, saying ordinary citizens were increasingly being deprived of the assurance of justice.
“The time has come for a thorough and uncompromising review of the judiciary,” he wrote, warning that delaying such reforms would only worsen the consequences.
He added that meaningful change in the country would be possible only if all state institutions embraced reform, stressing that his remarks were the result of serious reflection rather than an emotional reaction.
