Kathmandu, Oct 26: Chief Justice Prakashman Singh Raut has said that a robust judicial history can be created if research and studies of the judicial sector were carried out.
Addressing a workshop on Nepal’s legal and judicial history in the Capital City on Saturday, the Chief Justice (CJ) stated that research and study could help in the comparison of the evolution of jurisprudence in Nepal’s legal system.
The CJ stated that the Supreme Court has also advanced the jobs of research and study on legal and judicial history.
He said that the SC has posted some verdicts of the Pradhannayalaya (the apex court in the country before the establishment of the Supreme Court in 2013 BS) by transcribing them into the Nepali language and termed that this move could become a milestone in Nepal’s judicial history.
Stating that Nepal’s judicial system in history was based on religion, the Chief Justice argued that those documents are the foundation for the existing laws in the country.
On the occasion, historian Prof Dr Triranta Manandhar presented a working paper on the evolution of Nepal’s judicial development while another historian Dineshraj Pant expressed his views on the same topic. #ChiefJustice #nepal
