CJ urges leaders not to make undeliverable promises in statute

BAGLUNG: Chief Justice (CJ) Kalyan Shrestha has said that the new constitution should address aspirations of all people.

He, however, urged political leadership not to mention those aspirations of people that could not be implemented in future.

CJ Shrestha said that concerned authorities should take responsibility on their own if difficulties would arise while implementing the constitution.

Shrestha was speaking at a programme organised to felicitate him in his home district Baglung today.

He said that a 'good' structure of the judiciary should be drawn in the new constitution. "The final protector of rights of people is the judiciary itself and it also protects the people's dignity and civilisation," he said.

He said that the new constitution should be written with wisdom as it addresses respirations and wishes of all people.

He said that he has suggested the political leadership and the Constituent Assembly to make the structure of judiciary good and proper while going into a federal model.
