It's good that the Supreme Court has given
a verdict on the Rawal case.
Regardless of whether Rawal is intellectually and
organizationally capable or incapable of being the
Central Bank governor, the fact that legal
process -- no matter how long it took for
completion -- is being followed is good
news for Nepali democracy.
Verdicts like this will make government pause
before it makes similiarly rash decisions next
time around.
On another note, I consider Rawal to be a
clever, tenacious politician but a lousy
economist. Still, this works in Rawal's favor
because his job requires him to be subservient to
his political masters and NOT to the art and
science of macroeconomic stablization. (In other
words, Rawal is no Alan Greenspan both in
intellect and in terms of his job description!!)
Fortunately or unfortunately, Rawal's hapless
successor Deependra Purush Dhakal turned
out to be someone given to undiplomatic utterings,
someone with poor political skills, and, even
worse, someone who tries very hard to be "nice,
nice and nice" without being competent.

Buddy, I hope you are right. But the nature of present government
is difficult to fathom,since those who are supposed to resign
don't resign, and those who are not supposed to resign just
resign.Girija didn't learn lesson in Dhamijaa, and I have heard,
check the truth yourself please, that there are six secretaries
currently who were formerly removed by govt but later reinstated
by supreme court .
