Aggravating and Mitigating Factors in Criminal Sentencing in Nepal

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. Aggravating factors, such as abuse of authority or targeting vulnerable victims, can lead to harsher sentences. In contrast, mitigating factors like remorse, provocation, or youth may reduce the severity of penalties. This article explains these elements in detail, supported by Alpine Law Associates’ expert insight, to help clients understand how legal representation can influence sentencing outcomes.
