Principle of Natural Justice in Nepal Explained

The principle of natural justice in Nepal ensures fairness, transparency, and impartiality in legal proceedings. Rooted in the doctrines of audi alteram partem and nemo judex in causa sua, it protects individuals from bias and unfair decisions by requiring a fair hearing and unbiased adjudication. These principles are recognized in Nepal's civil and criminal procedure codes and are applied consistently by courts including the Supreme Court. This article explores the key rules, legal backings, and notable judicial interpretations on natural justice.

General Principles of Civil Law in Nepal: Foundation of Rights and Obligations

General Principles of Civil Law in Nepal: Foundation of Rights and Obligations

The general principles of civil law in Nepal provide a structured framework for fairness, accountability, and legal order in society. Key principles such as "ignorance of the law is no excuse," "acts against public interest are invalid," "liability for wrongdoing," and "good neighborliness" ensure that personal and commercial relations are governed by justice and consistency. These principles also confirm that customs contrary to law are unenforceable and that civil obligations extend equally to foreigners. Upholding these standards strengthens public confidence in the legal system and promotes a fair, harmonious social and economic environment. Alpine Law Associates provides expert guidance in civil law matters.
