In a bold move, the Judicial Council on Monday sacked two appellate court judges for not carrying out their duties competently. Four other judges have been warned for lack over unethical conduct.
A meeting of the Council decided to sack Pokhara Appellate Court Om Prasad Subedi and Hetauda Appellate Tej Bahadur Karki for not being competent in delivering justice. The JC members were unanimous in their decision to sack the two tainted judges.
Chief Justice Ram Prasad Shrsetha, who chairs the JC, is known to have proposed the action against Subedi and Karki.
Two separate probes conducted by the Supreme Court had found Subedi and Karki guilty on separate charges.
Karki was under the scanner for giving bail to the members of a criminal gang including Rohit Paliwan Agrawal, Bhimsen Pandit and Sanjaya Shrestha who are accused of abducting the director of Bharatpur Cancer Hospital, Dr Bhaktaman Shrestha.
Similarly, Subedi is accused of remaining absent in the court frequently thereby willfully avoiding his duty.
Meanwhile, four district court judges have been warned for misconduct. They are: Binod Prasad Sharma (Sarlahi), Achyat Bista (Arghakhanchi), Pashupati Acharya (Parsa) and Sita Prasad Pokharel (Jajarkot). nepalnews.com
