Supreme Court of Nepal

The Supreme Court of Nepal operates from a building on Ram Shah Path, serving as the highest judicial institution in the country's legal system.

The establishment of the Supreme Court in 1956 marked a fundamental transformation in Nepal's judiciary, with Hari Prasad Pradhan serving as the first Chief Justice.

The Supreme Court building incorporates both Nepalese architectural elements and contemporary design features, representing the evolution of national legal traditions.

Twenty judges, including the Chief Justice, preside over cases through various judicial benches, including Single Bench, Division Bench, Full Bench, and Special Bench.

The Full Court, comprising all justices, maintains the authority to formulate policies and recommend new legislation for the administration of justice.
