Kathmandu: Nepal's former chief justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana was taken to a police station from his residence here on Sunday.



Local media reports said that Rana was arrested in connection with a criminal case. The police, however, denied the reports, saying the former chief justice had been "placed under protection" following information about a possible security threat.



The Kathmandu Valley Crime Investigation Office confirmed that Rana was taken to its office in Teku. Senior Superintendent of Police Santosh Khadka said the former judge was brought "under police security" after authorities received information that he could face an attack.

The impeachment motion remained pending in Parliament and was not put to a vote before the term of the House of Representatives ended. The then secretary-general of the Federal Parliament Secretariat subsequently declared the motion inactive.

A writ petition challenging that decision was filed in the Supreme Court. On September 9, the Supreme Court's Constitutional Bench dismissed the petitions, ruling that the impeachment motion against Rana had lost its purpose.
