Chief Justice Sharma’s court record shows low authorship in key bench decisions

Published Supreme Court rulings show newly appointed chief justice was more often a signatory than the principal author of precedent-setting judgments.

In 2006, Sanjeev Rokka of Rupandehi married another woman while already married to Chanda Roka. Chanda went to court in 2008. A district court convicted him of bigamy and sentenced him to one year in prison and a fine of Rs5,000.
