KATHMANDU:

Chief Justice Kedar Prasad Giri has called on judges and court staffers to enhance the image of the judiciary by delivering justice promptly.

“We judges and officials have to keep people’s faith towards the judiciary. We must be above any kind of suspicion,” Giri said. The Chief Justice was addressing his colleagues at a tea party organised at his official residence in Baluwatar on Wednesday to exchange Dashain greetings.

Giri also urged the public office holders to be more responsible and accountable to the people. “Otherwise, people can question the judiciary as a whole,” Giri added. “I hope we will be able to promote justice and live up to people’s expectations,” he added.

The Chief Justice also stressed the need to ensure justice for all. Justices of various courts, ministers and high-ranking judicial officials attended the tea party.
