Basic Principles of Evidence Law in Nepal

Basic Principles of Evidence Law in Nepal

Evidence law ensures that judicial decisions are based on fair and logical assessment of facts. In Nepal, the foundational principles include relevance to the matter in issue, the best evidence rule, the exclusion of hearsay, the burden of proof, and the doctrine of estoppel. These guide the courts in evaluating what kind of evidence is admissible and how it should be assessed. Grounded in both ancient and modern legal traditions, these principles aim to maintain justice, fairness, and reliability in legal proceedings.

Legal Procedure in Nepal: General, Summary & Special

Legal Procedure in Nepal: General, Summary & Special

This article explains the three main types of legal procedures in Nepal—general, summary, and special. The general procedure follows standard court processes for civil and criminal cases, ensuring due process. Summary procedure is a streamlined process for minor cases, promoting faster resolutions. Special procedure is applied in specific cases like corruption or narcotics, involving designated courts and powers. Each procedure is grounded in relevant laws such as the Muluki Civil Procedure Code, Summary Proceeding Act, and Special Court Act. Understanding these distinctions ensures better access to justice and legal compliance in Nepal’s judicial system.
