Kathmandu, May 18:

Chief Justice Dilip Kumar Paudel today called on publishers to publish more books on law so that more people have access to knowledge on law, which in turn would “help stop injustice.”

“Ignorance of law creates injustice, thus writers and publishers of books related with law also contribute to providing justice,” Paudel said, adding: “More private parties should also take to publishing law books because efforts by the government alone in this regard are not sufficient.”

The Chief Justice said this while addressing a programme on the final day of the four-day law books’ exhibition organised by Pairavi Prakashan. The CJ, on behalf of the Pairavi Prakashan, honoured former Supreme Court Justice Gyaiendra Bahadur Shrestha for his contribution in writing legal books.
