Legal Reforms Nepal

Demystifying Nepal's Legal System is a challenging but rewarding topic. According to my search, Nepal's legal system is a civil law-based system, which means that laws are derived from written statutes rather than judicial decisions. However, Nepal's legal system also has some elements of common law, such as the practice of case laws or precedents. The Nepali legal system has been influenced by various sources, such as the Napoleonic Code, the Hindu philosophy, and the English common law.

Corruption is a serious problem that undermines the rule of law, democracy, and development in Nepal. Corruption is defined as "offences punishable under Chapter -2" of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 2059 (2002 A.D.) which include bribery, embezzlement, abuse of authority, money laundering, and obstruction of justice. Corruption affects various sectors and levels of the society, such as politics, administration, judiciary, security, education, health, and business.
