KATHMANDU, Feb 15: Questions have been raised in parliament over the failure to conclude the impeachment motion against former chief justice (CJ) Cholendra SJB Rana. The MPs asked questions in parliament saying that delaying justice is a great injustice.

KATHMANDU, Jan 14: Chief Justice Cholendra SJB Rana retired on Tuesday due to the age limit of 65 years, nine months after he was suspended from the post. The impeachment motion against him could neither be endorsed by parliament nor could he get a clean chit.

KATHMANDU, Dec 14: Suspended Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JBR retired from his post on Tuesday even as the impeachment motion filed against him in parliament remains yet to be concluded.

The Constitutional Bench has ruled that suspended Chief Justice Rana cannot resume office mainly on two grounds: First, the impeachment motion filed against Rana at the HoR has not concluded yet and that there has been a decision earlier to carry forward the motion in the new parliament. Second, the administrative chief of the federal parliament does not have rights to exercise the rights of a sovereign parliament.

KATHMANDU, Dec 9: The Supreme Court has constituted a constitutional bench to hear the writ petition against the lifting of suspension of Chief Justice (CJ) Cholendra SJB Rana.

The provision of impeachment against key office-bearers of the state has been made in the constitution to ensure separation of power and check and balance among the key state organs. But there is no mention of a deadline in the constitution to conclude impeachment motions once they are registered in parliament. This is a major loophole in the provision for impeachment that must be plugged if any misuse of this provision is to be avoided in the future.

KATHMANDU, Dec 8: The Supreme Court remained tense on Wednesday after a sudden move of the federal parliament secretariat to give a letter to suspended Chief Justice Cholendra SJB Rana that the impeachment motion against him was rendered ineffective.

KATHMANDU, Sept 1: The suspended Chief Justice Cholendra SJB Rana on Wednesday furnished his statement before the Impeachment Recommendation Committee of the federal parliament. Suspended CJ Rana will be quizzed on Thursday as well as the recording of his statement Wednesday could not be completed.

The suspended Chief Justice Cholendra SJB Rana has said that the impeachment motion filed against him in parliament had already become inactive.

KATHMANDU, August 31: Suspended Chief Justice (CJ) Cholendra SJB Rana will answer the 21 charges leveled against him before the Impeachment Recommendation Committee of the House of Representatives on Wednesday.

KATHMANDU, August 8: The investigation process against Chief Justice Cholendra SJB Rana, who was suspended after an impeachment motion was registered against him in parliament, has started after almost five and a half months. The meeting of the House of Representatives (HoR) on Sunday sent the motion to the impeachment recommendation committee of parliament.

KATHMANDU, AUGUST 2: Five and a half months have passed since an impeachment motion was filed against Chief Justice Cholendra SJB Rana. But parliament has not yet put it on the agenda for discussion. From this, it is clear that parliament has neglected the judiciary. The meeting of the House of Representatives has been going on continuously since the impeachment motion was registered against the head of the judiciary. But since the political parties in parliament are not interested in proceeding with the impeachment process, it is being analyzed that the impeachment motion was registered only to humiliate the head of the judiciary.
