The meeting of the council on Tuesday has forwarded the names of Justices Deepak Raj Joshee, Om Prakash Mishra and Choldendra Shamsher JBR for the top job. According to the Constitution, the President appoints the Chief Justice upon the recommendation of the Constitutional Council.

Joshee is currently working in the capacity of acting CJ after his predecessor Gopal Prasad Parajuli was relieved from his post.
