why are judges’ picks sparking dissent?

The picks of judges are sparking dissent mainly due to concerns over transparency, fairness, and impartiality. Senior judge Sapana Pradhan Malla and two other senior Supreme Court judges have opposed recent judicial recommendations, citing issues with seniority and lack of transparency. Additionally, Justice Fuyal and others boycotted the constitutional bench, raising impartiality concerns under Chief Justice Sharma. The Nepal Bar Association has also protested against the opaque formation of the constitutional bench, condemning the use of personal discretion by the Chief Justice and demanding more objective criteria for judge selection.
