Supreme Court Registrar: Court Verdicts Not Government Wins or Losses

Kathmandu. Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court Bimal Poudel has said that understanding verdicts from the court as the government's loss or win is a narrow mentality. Speaking at an interaction program organized by the Supreme Court Verdict Implementation Directorate, Chief Registrar Poudel emphasized that the relationship between the executive and the judiciary should be complementary, not confrontational.

According to him, the court does not create cases on its own and only plays the role of an impartial umpire to protect the fundamental rights of citizens guaranteed by the constitution. He argued that it is not the dharma of the judiciary to deliver verdicts in favor of the state just because state-side cases come up during judicial proceedings, and commented that his body must be impartial to maintain judicial impartiality.
