The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) is preparing to initiate impeachment proceedings against a judge in Nepal, according to Nepali media reports published on October 31, 2026. The reports say the party has moved ahead with the process, but do not name the judge, identify the grounds for impeachment or provide details about the next steps.
What the reports say
The available reporting describes the RSP as having advanced its impeachment effort, indicating that the party is preparing to take action against a judge. However, the information provided does not establish whether a formal impeachment motion has been filed or whether the party is still completing preparations. It also does not say when any formal step might take place.
The reports leave key details unanswered. They do not identify the judge involved, describe the conduct or decision that may have prompted the move, or set out the party’s reasoning. Without those details, the precise scope and status of the proposed proceedings cannot be determined from the reports available.
A report published by Nepal Views also frames the development as an impeachment move against a judge. The account, as reflected in the available information, does not provide further particulars about the individual or the allegations.
Details remain unclear
The absence of a named judge means readers cannot identify which member of the judiciary is at the centre of the reported move. The lack of stated grounds also leaves unanswered what issue the RSP intends to raise and what evidence or arguments it may rely on. No response from the judge, the judiciary or other political parties is included in the information available.
The reports likewise do not specify whether the RSP has announced the move publicly through a formal statement, whether party members have submitted any documentation, or whether the process has entered an official stage. These distinctions matter when assessing how far the reported initiative has progressed. For now, the central reported development is that the party has moved ahead with preparations, while the procedural status remains unspecified.
What is known so far
Based on the available reports, the confirmed points are limited: the RSP is preparing to initiate impeachment proceedings against a judge, Nepali media reported the move on October 31, 2026, and the party has been described as having advanced the process. The judge’s identity and the grounds for the proposed action have not been disclosed in the information provided.
Further details would be needed to clarify whether the move has become a formal proceeding and what the party intends to establish. Until those details are reported, the impeachment effort remains defined by the party’s reported preparations rather than by a publicly specified case, named judge or stated set of grounds.
