NBA lawyers stage sit-in at Supreme Court (With photos)

KATHMANDU: Lawyers associated with Nepal Bar Association staged a sit-in at the main entrance of the Supreme Court on Monday demanding resignation of Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana.

This is the third day in a row that lawyers staged a sit-in at the SC to prevent CJ Rana from entering the court.

The agitating lawyers are staging the sit-in at the main gate of the apex court by breaking up a security cordon.

A minor clash broke out between the disgruntled lawyers and police personnel when the former tried to break up the security cordon.

The lawyers have been staging demonstrations for the past few weeks demanding resignation of Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana, who has been accused of seeking to appoint his brother-in-law as a minister in the Sher Bahadur Deuba-led government and delaying the hearing of cases filed against appointments to the constitutional bodies.
