Kathmandu, April 2
The Judicial Council on Tuesday nominated five persons for the vacant positions of justice at the Supreme Court.

It has been learned that the Council picked Phunyal and Sharma to represent the leftist political stream and Regmi to represent the democratic school of thought. Phunyal served as the Attorney General during KP Sharma Oli’s first premiership.
They will be appointed to the positions after the Parliamentary Hearing Special Committee endorses their names.
