President Paudel Emphasizes Law's Role in Justice and Hope

Kathmandu. President Ram Chandra Paudel has stated that law should be a source of fear for the guilty and a source of hope, trust, and support for the innocent. President Paudel expressed this view today while addressing a program organized in Kathmandu on the occasion of Law Day 2083. He also said that we should not forget that if the established system and traditions of law start to falter in their observance and implementation, their adverse effects will cause human society to become fearful. 'Therefore, the day that is celebrated as Law Day is the day when we understand and realize that law and order are both tools and remedies for good governance, peace, prosperity, and dignity. Only by internalizing the essence of Law Day can we imagine a self-reliant and prosperous Nepal,' he said. President Paudel stated that the Constitution of Nepal has arranged a system committed to democratic values such as a federal democratic republic, civil liberties, fundamental rights, human rights, and an independent, impartial, and capable judiciary, as well as the concept of the rule of law. He also expressed his wish that Law Day may provide everyone with positive thinking, encouragement, and inspiration to ensure the establishment of easy access to justice for all citizens through the creation of new laws and timely reforms in existing laws in accordance with the spirit of the Constitution of Nepal and current needs, using modern methods and technologies, speedy justice delivery through prompt case management, upholding the rule of law, and preventing the erosion of judicial values and norms, thereby enhancing public trust in the judiciary. The program was attended by Vice President Ramsahaya Prasad Yadav, Acting Chief Justice Sapana Pradhan Malla, Speaker Dol Prasad Aryal, and National Assembly Chairman Narayan Dahal, among other high-ranking officials.
