One fourth of the total number of Members of Parliament can challenge any the Justice of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court with a motion of impeachment at the Parliament “on the ground of his or her failure to fulfil his or her duties of office because of serious violation of this Constitution and law, incompetence or misconduct or failure to discharge the duties of office honestly or serious violation of the code of conduct”, according to the Article 101.2 of Nepal’s Constitution.
After the commencement of impeachment proceedings under the Article 101.2, according to the Article 101.6, the chief or official of any constitutional body shall not be allowed to discharge the duties of his or her office pending the settlement of such proceedings.
The impeachment motion comes on the eve of SC’s final verdict on a case filed by DIG Nawaraj Silwal against Prakash Aryal’s appointment as the Inspector General of Nepal Police.
Earlier, a full bench of the Supreme Court, chaired by Chief Justice Karki, had revoked the Cabinet’s February 12 decision to appoint Jaya Bahadur Chand the Nepal Police chief — dubbing it arbitrary, flawed, unjust and a bizarre example of pick and choose.With a conclusion that the government did not follow the Nepal Police Regulations and other established norms while elevating Chand to the Nepal Police’s top post, the SC categorically told the government to consider seniority as well as merit and petitioner [Nawaraj Silwal]’s legitimate expectation while making decision then after. Many believed that the verdict had paved the way for Silwal’s appointment as the IGP.The government, however, on April 10, appointed Prakash Aryal the IGP. Silwal moved the apex court again.
