He was born in Dadeldhura to an aristocratic family that was given land grants in Sudurpashchim Province circa 1911 during a hunting trip by King George V of the United Kingdom and Chandra Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana, the Prime Minister of the Rana Dynasty.[1] He went on to become the 5th Chief Justice of Nepal, in office from 26 July 1970 to 6 August 1976.[2][3][4] He was appointed by the then-king of Nepal, Mahendra. He was responsible for the Summary Procedure Act 1971.
