Kathmandu. Kathmandu: The Supreme Court (SC) has ordered the cabinet to appoint Sharad Ojha as the chairman of Nepal Insurance Authority (INSURANCEA).
A division bench of Justices Prakash Man Singh Raut and Nityanand Pandey passed the order on Monday. A division bench of Justices Raut and Pandey heard the writ petition filed against Ojha.
Advocate Indira Dhamala, who is also an agent of National Life Insurance Company, had filed a writ petition against Ojha on March 27, accusing him of submitting a fake work experience certificate to become the chairman of the Insurance Authority. The office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Finance and the Insurance Authority have also been made defendants in the petition filed by Advocate Dhamala.
A single bench of Justice Nahakul Subedi of the Supreme Court had on April 26 refused to pass an interim order against Ojha. Subedi’s bench issued a show-cause order in the name of the government and summoned both the parties for discussion.
