Kathmandu, August 31
The impeachment recommendation committee in the House of Representatives that is looking into the impeachment motion against suspended Chief Justice Cholendra Shamsher Rana quizzed him on Wednesday.
However, the question-and-answer did not end today, hence it will continue Thursday (tomorrow) also, according to Nepali Congress lawmaker Min Bishwakarma.
Whereas the committee has prepared a list of 43 questions for him, only four questions have been over today, according to him.
In his statement today, Rana said the impeachment motion has turned unconstitutional now as the House cannot discuss this in the same session it was registered. He also pleaded innocent to all the charges.
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.
