The Parliamentary Hearing Special Committee (PHSC) says it will start hearing of Supreme Court justice nominees from Sunday.

A meeting presided over by the PHSC Chairman Kul Bahadur KC on Thursday endorsed the revised hearing procedure and decided to start hearing of the justice nominees from Sunday.

The committee has already received complaints registered against the justice

nominees.

The Judicial Council had recommended Deep Kumar Karki, Sharada Prasad Ghimire, Mira Khadka, Bishwambhar Shrestha, Ishwar Prasad Khatiwada, Ananda Mohan Bhattarai, Hari Krishna Karki, Anil Kumar Sinha, Prakash Man Singh Raut and Sapana Pradhan Malla as the apex court justices on March 1.

The 15-member PHSC, which was formed in the third week of June after months of dispute among parties, has so far conducted hearing of Chief Justice (CJ) Sushila Karki and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Ayodhee Prasad Yadav.

Yadav was endorsed as the CEC by the PHSC on July 9 whereas Karki was endorsed as the CJ on Sunday. Both have already assumed offices after taking oath of office and secrecy.
