The Nepal Bar Association has voiced concerns regarding a shift in the Supreme Court bench assigned to an asset probe case. Originally heard by a three-justice full bench, the case is now slated for review by the constitutional bench, prompting objections from the legal body. This change has ignited debate surrounding proper judicial procedure and the method of bench selection within the court system. The Association’s concerns center on the appropriateness of escalating the case and potential implications for due process. Critics argue the move may suggest undue influence or a lack of transparency in bench assignments. The situation raises questions about the independence and impartiality of the judiciary in Nepal, and could set a precedent for future case handling. Further clarification is expected regarding the rationale behind the bench reshuffle.
