Mar 9, 2016- The much delayed justice appointment process has hit yet another roadblock after Speaker Onsari Gharti sent back recommendation made for the appointment of justices for the Supreme Court. 
Dismayed with the Judicial Council’s recommendation, Speaker Gharti on Sunday returned names of justice nominees saying that Parliamentary Hearing Committee is not in place and the council was incomplete while making the decision.


A section of legal experts have questioned the Speaker’s move, saying that the decision is likely to spark dispute between Parliament and judiciary in the coming days.  “We had not expected this kind of response from the Speaker. The council will take its decision on how to move ahead within a couple of days,” said JC member and Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Agni Kharel on Tuesday.  Although the Speaker has cited technical reasons behind her decision, sources say the move was taken after lawyers close to the Maoist party, Speaker’s party, were not included on the council’s list of justices. The Maoist party is understood to have been making a pitch for Tulsi Bhatta and Borna Bahadur Karki.
