The impeachment motion registered in the HoR secretariat on February 13 citing the CJ&#8217;s failure to discharge his duty with duo responsibility and his poor performance was proposed by lawmakers Gurung, Pushpa Bhusal (Gautam) and Jiban Ram Shrestha and seconded by 95 other HoR members.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Gurung defended the registration of the motion that questions the CJ\u2019s competency and conducts. As he reasoned, the move was warranted by his performance issues and for the abuse of power by acting against the administration of justice act and for his involvement in corruption and irregularities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lawmakers are scheduled to put their views on the motion in HoR&#8217;s next session.
