After the government started cleaning the quarters in Pulchowk to manage the newly appointed ministers, some judges residing there are discussing whether to 'move' or stay there.
According to a Supreme Court judge, it would be inconvenient for ministers and judges to live in the same place, so another judge said that the Chief Justice and senior judges will be consulted and a decision will be taken in the Supreme Court today.
Currently, 13 judges, including Chief Registrar Bimal Poudel, were living in Pulchowk. But after the cleaning began soon after the formation of the new government under the leadership of Balendra Shah, the judges have been in a moral crisis.
They are discussing the options, saying that having judges and ministers living in quarters in the same compound will not send a positive message and may lead to unnecessary disputes being made public and may affect the administration of justice.
However, since the government has not officially informed anything so far, the matter is under discussion, said Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court Bimal Paudal. Meanwhile, Chakrabarti Kantha, a technician at the Department of Building Construction and Management under the Ministry of Urban Development, informed that the cleaning was done as per the instructions of the Prime Minister's Office. He said that since there are currently three vacant quarters, the cleaning and general maintenance of those quarters are being done.
After the construction of a well-equipped ministerial residence in Bhainsepati, Lalitpur, the ministers had moved from Pulchowk to Bhainsepati. The residence in Pulchowk was given to the judges.
The newly built ministerial residence in Bhainsepati, Lalitpur has been damaged by the arson during the Gen-G movement. Except for the one where the Defense Minister lives, all the houses were damaged to the point of being uninhabitable.
All the ministers of the interim government formed after the Gen-G movement had made their respective residences their ministerial quarters. Some judges had even discussed among themselves whether to move out as five or six houses in the Pulchowk quarters are currently undergoing renovation and painting.
