Senior advocate Tikaram Bhattarai expressed his happiness after he got the appointment. It is not a matter to be happy about who can be appointed as District Judge, but Vishwadeep Beshra has added a new brick in the judicial history of Nepal. He became the first government official from the endangered Satar (Santhal) caste to become a district judge today," he wrote on social media. "Despite his difficult childhood, social prejudices towards that community and all the suppressed voices, this is not an outstanding achievement. Your contribution to the growth of the branch of justice will be incomparable.'
