He reiterated that the recommendation will not be revised in any condition as the recommended individuals were appropriate, capable, honest and faithful.

Dhungana further made it clear that the JC will stick with the decision as it was made after extensive study and under the criterion. "The JC will stand by its decision," said Dhungana, speaking during an interaction programme organised at the Reporters Club in Kathmandu today. "We are ready to face whatever decision the Parliamentary Hearing Special Committee (PHSC) makes," he added.

He went on to challenge the PHSC to register the complaint of impeachment motion while also adding that they were ready to accept whatever decision PHSC would come with.

PHSC on yesterday had decided to request the copy of Judicial Council (JC)'s decision to recommend eight names for the post of permanent justices at the Supreme Court within the next three days.

The parliamentary panel reached a decision to the effect in its meeting called on Thursday to discuss 22 complaints filed against the eight nominees. The meeting also decided to look into the note of dissent registered by JC member and senior apex court Justice Ram Kumar Shah.

Shah had on April 23 registered his note of dissent against two nominees—Govinda Upadhya and Deepak Raj Joshi. Shah maintains that Joshi doesn't have adequate knowledge on the issues and he has been reprimanded by the higher court—apex court—for releasing prisoners from jail.

The PHSC decision comes at a time when the JC's recommendation has courted controversy after some of the nominees were recommended for disciplinary action by the apex court itself.

The complaints against the nominees range from indulging into financial irregularities to failing to uphold moral character. A majority of the 73-member hearing committee had called for obtaining the copy of the JC's decision and the note of dissent. They had also sought additional time to study those complaints.
