Supreme Court Sets New Time Limits for Case Registration

Kathmandu. The Supreme Court has set new time limits for the legal process and action on writ petitions coming for registration in the court to make it faster, quicker, and more organized.

The Case and Writ Division of the Supreme Court has issued a notice determining the time for writ petition registration and its disposal.

According to the notice issued by the Case and Writ Division of the Supreme Court, writ petitions submitted to the Supreme Court for registration by service recipients with the necessary documents will now be resolved within 24 hours. According to the division, arrangements have been made to complete the entire registration process within generally 24 hours from the time the writ petition is submitted.

In addition, the court has also set a specific time limit for writ petitions that cannot be registered. If a writ petition submitted by a service recipient is found to be unregisterable or legally unregisterable in nature, the notice clarifies that necessary disposal will be given within 48 hours from the time such petitions are submitted. This will end the problem of unregisterable petitions being stuck for a long time.
