Kathmandu, August 24
The impeachment recommendation committee in the House of Representatives has decided to summon suspended Chief Justice Cholendra Shamsher Rana for his statements on the impeachment motion filed against him.
A meeting of the committee held on Wednesday made the decision to summon Rana at 11 am on August 31, informs the committee member Ram Bahadur Bista.
Before that, the committee would collect evidence to support the impeachment motion.
The committee will target submitting the report to the House by September 4, according to him.
The House of Representatives in the first week of August began a detailed discussion on the impeachment motion against Chief Justice Cholendra Shamsher Rana after nearly five months of the proposal being registered.
The motion was tabled in the House on March 13, but it was put on hold as the House session was prorogued. With the prorogued, it was expected that the motion would not be endorsed, yet he would not return to the office.
Earlier, on March 6, the house formed an impeachment recommendation committee to study the motion.
On February 11, lawmakers of the ruling alliance filed the impeachment motion at the Federal Parliament Secretariat demanding the removal of CJ Rana.
