Chief Justice Dilip Kumar Paudel on tuesday called organs of the state to work to respect independence of the judiciary and the “limitations” defined by the “doctrine of constitutionalism.”
“It would be bad luck for the country if we cannot save the independence of the judiciary as we are known in the international arena for our independence of judiciary,” he said.
He also made an appeal to protect the independence of the judiciary and judges and not to promulgate any law with retrospective effect with provision of reappointment as the same is against concept of independence of judiciary. He said this while speaking at a training for social workers organised by the Central Child Welfare Committee here on tuesday .
The Chief Justice also said that it is against the independence of judges to make a provision of reappointment of judges as they were appointed independently.
“Judiciary is just an institution which should not be affected by frequent changes in political system and amendments to constitution, but it is always ready to provide justice to people.”
Claiming that he had fought for independence of judiciary in the past, he expressed commitment to do so in the future as well.
