Principle of res-judicata in Nepal

Principle of res-judicata in Nepal

Res judicata is a core procedural principle in Nepalese law that prohibits re-litigation of matters already decided by a competent court. Derived from the Latin for "a matter judged," it ensures legal certainty, judicial efficiency, and protection against repeated lawsuits. The Muluki Civil Procedure Code outlines when res judicata applies, requiring a final judgment, jurisdiction, merit-based decision, and identity of parties and claims. This doctrine plays a vital role in upholding the integrity of Nepal’s legal system by discouraging redundant claims and safeguarding the finality of court decisions.

Inter-Country Adoption in Nepal: Complete Legal Guide and Process

Inter-country adoption in Nepal involves a highly regulated legal process designed to protect the rights and welfare of children. Governed by the Muluki Civil Code 2074 and aligned with the Hague Convention, this system ensures ethical, transparent, and child-centric adoptions.

Only children declared legally adoptable, such as orphans or abandoned children, qualify for inter-country adoption. The process applies stringent criteria for foreign adoptive parents, enforces thorough legal scrutiny, and mandates post-adoption follow-up reports. This guide explains everything about eligibility, the application process, legal rights, adoption board roles, and protective mechanisms for Nepali children adopted abroad. A must-read for foreign nationals and legal professionals involved in inter-country adoption.
