Jhapa, December 11
Chief Justice Om Prakash Mishra says baseless comments and criticism would weaken the judiciary.
Inaugurating a national conference on human rights organised by Nepal Bar Association in Jhapa on Monday, CJ Mishra said, “Vague allegations that anomalies and corruption are propping up in judiciary do not make sense. One should lodge complaints stating who took how much (bribe) and when”.
He also called for support from all sides in the campaign to get the judiciary free from anomalies.
The Chief Justice also stated that Nepal Bar Association should play an effective role for judiciary’s independence and efficiency.
On the occasion, Province 1 Minister for Internal Affairs and Law Hikmat Karki said that the people could realise justice only when the judiciary was made further responsible and accountable.
Also speaking on the occasion, NBA President Sher Bahadur KC asserted that 75 per cent corruption would come down if the justices and legal practitioners were ready to mend their conducts.
As many as 1,000 legal practitioners across the country took part in the conference coordinated by NBA, Jhapa Chapter.
