Kathmandu, May 19

The Nepal Bar Association (NBA) has staged a protest by lighting lanterns after the Supreme Court administration refused to register applications.

Expressing dissatisfaction over the state of the judiciary and the justice delivery process, lawyers and members of the NBA held the lantern protest on Tuesday on the NBA premises.

Lawyers participating in the protest said that the demonstration was organized to caution against delays, anomalies, and challenges to impartial justice within the judicial system. By lighting lanterns, they symbolically conveyed the message that people are now being forced to “search for justice.”
