Aggravating and Mitigating Factors in Criminal Sentencing in Nepal

In Nepal's criminal justice system, sentencing isn't solely based on the crime itself but also on various aggravating and mitigating factors outlined in the National Criminal Code. These factors guide the judiciary in determining fair and proportionate punishment, ensuring that each case is assessed on its unique circumstances.
