CHITWAN, JULY 13
Attorney General Khamma Bahadur Khati has insisted on cooperation among judicial bodies.
While inaugurating a newly-constructed building of the District Government Attorney Office of Chitwan, here today, he said cooperation and support among judicial offices were vital to see a robust justice delivery system.
He said a lack of coordination among the attorney offices, police and court would cause problems in executing justice. He said, people's faith in the judiciary has been declining and this must be prevented.
He was of the view that no one (survivors) should be denied justice upon their request for the same.
"Weak investigations will have its implications on the entire justice-delivery process."
The attorney general admitted that the lack of required human resources in district attorney offices had hampered government efforts to ensure prompt justice to the people.
The proportion of judges to government attorneys at present is 1:2.
On the occasion, deputy attorney general Krishna Jeevi Ghimire said they were working on a plan to address the issues of human resources crunch while district judge Hemant Rawal said a hostile statement was one of the challenges the judiciary was facing in the course of executing justices and said this happens when survivors feel unsafe to demand justice. He was of the view that ensuring safety of survivors and protecting required evidences would result in an effective judiciary.
The foundation stone of the building was laid on 28 January 2020 and it cost Rs 49.87 million to complete the project. The three-storey building spreads over 10 kattha land in Bharatpur metropolis.
