Hierarchy and Jurisdiction of Courts and Tribunals in Nepal

Nepal's judiciary is structured into three tiers: the Supreme Court, High Court, and District Court, with specialized tribunals like the Special Court, Labor Court, Revenue Tribunal, and Debt Recovery Tribunal addressing specific legal matters. The Supreme Court is the apex body, ensuring constitutional interpretation and justice. High Courts oversee appeals and writs, while District Courts handle original cases. Specialized tribunals deal with areas such as corruption, labor disputes, tax issues, and debt recovery, ensuring efficient justice delivery. Together, these institutions uphold the rule of law and access to justice in Nepal.
