Supreme Court may take months to resume full-fledged operation
Summary
The Supreme Court of Nepal may take several months to resume full operations after its building and case files were destroyed during the Gen Z-led protests that turned violent in September.
Key Points
- The Supreme Court building and many case files were destroyed during the Gen Z-led protests in September.
- Only habeas corpus petitions are being heard from a makeshift structure while most hearings are halted due to loss of files and offices.
- The court has issued directives to recover lost case files from various sources to resume normal operations.
- Full-fledged hearings are unlikely to resume within the next five to six months due to extensive damages and recovery efforts needed.
