MP Sulabh Kharel Calls for Judicial Independence and Structural Reforms

Kathmandu. RPP MP Sulabh Kharel has emphasized the need to make the judiciary completely free from political interference by questioning the independence and impartiality of the court. Speaking at a meeting of the Law, Justice and Human Rights Committee, MP Kharel expressed dissatisfaction with the current state of the judiciary and pointed out the need for structural reforms.

He stated that 'financial autonomy' is essential to keep the court free from government control. "If the judiciary were truly independent, the current disputes would not have arisen," Kharel said, "The main reason for the weakness of the judiciary is the appointment of judges based on power-sharing among political parties."
