Ali Akbar Mikrani, (Nepali: अलि अकबर मिकरानी), is a former Chief Justice of the Appellate Court of Nepal.[1] Currently, he is a member of the Supreme Court Bar Association of Nepal.[2] He also served as the chairman of the Central Hajj Committee of Nepal in 2013.[3]
He was born in Kadarbana village of Rajdevi municipality of Rautahat district in one of the well-established Muslim families of Nepal. He did his schooling in his village and later studied in India.
His grandfather Maula Bakhsh Mikrani 'Chaudhary' was a well-known social activist in Sarlahi and Rautahat districts, who was once jailed for six months at Nakhu, Kathmandu, during the rule of Rana Prime Minister Chandra Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana.[4]
The "Chaudhry" title was honored by that time of Rana government of Nepal to his grandfather Maula Bakhsh Mikrani in recognition of the bravery of his ancestor (Husaini Mikrani) who died fighting against the British invaders at Samanpur of Rautahat district.[5] A large number of drinking water wells and public places still can be seen in Sarlahi and Rautahat districts made by Maula Bakhsh Chaudhry during his service.
His brother Ali Akhtar Mikrani was an architect engineer and social worker.[6]
