The Supreme Court of Nepal has reconstructed the case files of more than 10,000 lawsuits that were destroyed in a fire. Out of a total of 24,000 case files held at the Supreme Court, 20,000 files were burned during the September 24 (Bhadra 24) protests, leaving only 4,000 files intact.
According to Supreme Court spokesperson Nirajan Pandey, as of Poush 21, the files for 10,340 cases have been successfully reconstructed. The reconstruction process has involved coordination with service-providing institutions and the Office of the Attorney General to restore the burned case files.
The Supreme Court had requested that the reconstructed case files be made available to the Office of the Attorney General, Nepal Bar Association, and the concerned parties of the cases. The collection and reconstruction of the files are ongoing to ensure that stakeholders have access to necessary documents.
