Parliamentary Committee to Discuss Forensic Science Bill with Experts

Kathmandu. The Education, Health and Information Technology Committee under the Federal Parliament House of Representatives has decided to discuss the 'National Forensic Science Laboratory (Establishment and Operation) Bill, 2081' with experts in the next meeting. 

The committee reached this conclusion as many questions raised by the MPs during the clause-by-clause discussion on the bill remained unanswered.

In the meeting, the MPs expressed the view that the opinion of experts from the relevant field should be taken to make the bill mature and practical. Education and Sports Minister Sasmita Pokharel, who participated in the discussion, also clarified that this bill would be moved forward only after taking sufficient time and holding extensive discussions with experts.

Emphasizing the seriousness and necessity of the bill, committee chairperson Dr. Ojaswi Sherchan said, 'This bill is very important for our justice system. Since many questions remain unanswered here, I will conduct the meeting in the next session by inviting experts.'

Chairperson Sherchan also argued that the bill related to the National Forensic Science Laboratory will prove to be a milestone in making the field of justice delivery systematic and reliable, hence the discussion on it should be extensive, error-free, and transparent.
