KATHMANDU:<\/strong> The meeting of the Constitutional Council, held at the Prime Minister\u2019s official residence in Baluwatar on Friday, ended without reaching a decision on the recommendation for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

A follow-up meeting has been scheduled for Monday. The Council, chaired by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, included key figures such as Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda, leader of the main opposition party; Speaker Devraj Ghimire; Chief Justice Bishwambhar Shrestha; National Assembly Speaker Narayan Dahal; and Deputy Speaker Indira Rana Magar.<\/p>\n

Chief Justice Shrestha is set to retire on October 5 due to the age limit of 65 years.<\/p>\n

According to Article 284 (3) of the Constitution, the Council is required to recommend a successor at least one month before the current Chief Justice\u2019s retirement.<\/p>\n

However, the Council has not yet finalized its recommendation. The Judicial Council has provided a list of eight potential candidates for the position of Chief Justice.<\/p>\n

The candidates are Prakashman Singh Raut, Sapana Pradhan Mall, Prakash Kumar Dhungana, Kumar Regmi, Hari Prasad Phuyal, Manoj Kumar Sharma, Kumar Chudal, and Nakul Subedi.<\/p>\n

Given that Prakashman Singh Raut is the most senior among the nominees, there is a possibility that his name may be put forward for recommendation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
