why did judges publicly dissent?
Two senior Supreme Court judges publicly dissented against the recommendation of four judges to the Supreme Court. Their dissent was based on concerns about violations of seniority and lack of transparency in the selection process. The dissenters argued that the recommendations ignored established seniority rules and lacked fairness and inclusivity. Senior Judge Sapana Pradhan Malla was among those who opposed the judicial picks, emphasizing the need for transparency and fairness. This dissent highlights ongoing debates within the judiciary about how judges are appointed and the principles that should guide these decisions.
