At that time, people spoke his name in hushed tones, the walls had ears and there was the threat that Karki would slap his ‘tera-pane’ (the 13-page asset declaration form) that was used to persecute opponents. Om Aryal’s case for Karki’s impeachment had been dismissed by the court and while Aryal stood fearless in filing an appeal, there was a palpable feeling of dread. Other efforts, like Suman Shrestha’s appeal under the Right to Information Act to release property details of the CIAA chief went some way in garnering media attention and breaking the culture of silence on Karki’s regime.But matters only came to head after May. While Kanak Mani Dixit’s arrest energised sections of civil society to overcome its fear, a welcome change of guard at the Supreme Court propelled Chief Justice Sushila Karki as the most integral protagonist in this saga.
