Nepal’s Parliamentary Hearing Committee discussed complaints against a proposed Supreme Court justice on November 6, 2026, meeting with the people who filed them as part of the hearing process. Reports by Nepal Samaya and Nepal Lead said the committee held discussions with the complainants, but did not identify the proposed justice or those who submitted the complaints, or specify where the meeting took place.
Committee hears from complainants
The meeting brought the committee together with individuals who had lodged complaints about the proposed appointment. Their participation formed part of the committee’s hearing process, according to the reports. The available information does not describe the complaints’ contents or say what points were raised during the discussions.
The hearing committee’s consideration of the complaints is a step in examining concerns submitted about the proposed justice. The reports describe discussions with the complainants, rather than setting out the committee’s assessment of the allegations. They do not provide details of any questions asked, responses given or documents considered at the meeting.
Details of the appointment process remain limited
The available reports do not name the proposed Supreme Court justice or the people who filed complaints. They also do not state how many complaints were submitted, what issues they covered or whether the committee requested further information. Without those details, the specific concerns under review cannot be established from the reports.
Nor do the reports say whether the committee reached a decision on the complaints during or after the November 6 discussions. No outcome of the hearing process, recommendation or next step was provided in the information available. The meeting is therefore reported as a discussion with complainants within the wider hearing process, not as a final ruling on the proposed appointment.
The committee’s discussions mark the latest reported activity in its consideration of the complaints. Further information about the nominee, the substance of the concerns and the committee’s eventual decision was not included in the reports from Nepal Samaya and Nepal Lead.
