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. Governed by the Muluki Civil Procedure Code 2074, locus standi now includes provisions for marginalized individuals through court permissions and guardianship. This evolving concept balances judicial access with procedural discipline, ensuring justice remains within reach for both private grievances and collective societal issues.

Fundamental Rights in Nepal

Fundamental Rights in Nepal

Fundamental rights are the cornerstone of Nepal’s democratic legal system, safeguarding individual dignity, equality, and justice. Enshrined in Part 3 of the Constitution of Nepal 2015, these rights span civil, political, social, and economic liberties—ranging from the right to life, freedom, and equality, to education, health, and social justice. Each citizen is protected under these rights and empowered to seek legal remedies through constitutional mechanisms. At Alpine Law Associates, we are committed to educating and defending these rights through professional legal advocacy and public awareness. This guide outlines all 31 fundamental rights every Nepali citizen should know and exercise.
