Nepal's first woman acting Chief Justice Sushila Karki has assumed office, months after the country got its first woman President and Speaker.
63-year-old Karki, the senior-most judge in Nepal's Supreme Court, has done her Masters in Political Science from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi.
Karki, known for her 'zero tolerance' for corruption, succeeded former chief justice Kalyan Shrestha who retired from the office on Tuesday.
