These principles are recognized in Nepal's civil and criminal procedure codes and are applied consistently by courts including the Supreme Court.

Understanding Locus Standi and Its Role in Nepalese Law

Understanding Locus Standi and Its Role in Nepalese Law

The principle of locus standi defines who has the right to bring a legal case before a court. In Nepal, this principle traditionally required a personal legal interest or injury. However, the rise of Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has expanded access, allowing concerned citizens to challenge systemic issues like rights violations and governance failures.
