Supreme Court Justice Saranga Subedi recused herself from hearing cases at Nepal’s Supreme Court on Monday after social media allegations linked her to alleged money transactions involving middleman Inam Sapkota. The posts claimed that she had been paid to uphold the Election Commission’s decision in the Nepali Congress legitimacy dispute and recognize Gagan Kumar Thapa’s leadership. Subedi rejected the allegations as misleading and said she would not hear any cases that day because her name had been raised in question.
