how is the judicial community composed and what does it do?
Answers
Answer:
The constitution has envisaged the creation of Judicial Committees in each of the 753 local level units. They will be headed by the deputy mayor in municipalities and by the deputy chairperson in rural municipalities, and deliver justice on specific disputes. The three-member Judicial Committee will consist of two members elected by the members of the Village Assembly or Municipal Assembly from among themselves. The purpose behind this constitutional provision is to ensure that justice is home-delivered, in every sense of the word. The very idea of federal restructuring of Nepal was driven by the desire to decentralise and devolve authority and power. Therefore, the constitution has specified that judicial powers should be devolved along with executive and legislative powers. It has specified jurisdictions for the local level too.
Further in keeping with the constitutional stipulations, the Local Level (Operation) Act has also come into force, which clarifies the functions and duties of the local level. Chapter 8 of the act deals with the judicial duties of the local entity. The act provides two specific rights to the Judicial Committee: the right to settle disputes and the right to settle disputes through mediation only
