Hypothesis
As a law student I had dream of going court and I recently got an
opportunity to visit high court Biratnagar. I always had a
perspective towards court like it will be like in movies and the
proceeding will be same as shown in movies by touching holy
book but it is completely different from movies. However, the
court system is run by rules and regulation act which we called as
“उच्च अदालत नियमावली.” The whole court system is run by this
manual where the routine of every stakeholder is mention, like
the job of judge what is his jurisdiction on which case he can
procced and task is given to him by registrar of high court. I am in
big delusion that, the cases can be registered anywhere either it
can be in district court or high court but whenever the case is filed
it is only filed in district court and if dissatisfied with the district
court ruling then they can appeal against the decision in high
court I got an opportunity to understand this whole system as
hypothetically the court system is more efficient and responsible
then our expectation.
Experience
visiting the high court presented an invaluable opportunity the
witness firsthand the legal systems inner workings as I entered the
courtroom, I was immediately struck by the formal atmosphere.
The court was well maintained, with polished wooden benches for
the public and a raised platform for the presiding judge.
The hearing began with the lawyers presenting their evidence
including the document as a proof. The defense skillfully cross-
examined the evidence raising creative question. Throughout the
proceeding the judge listened attentively interjecting with
clarifying the questions. Ones aspects that struck me was the
professionalism and decorum maintained by everyone.
Interaction
While visiting the high court Biratnagar, Morang, on 2080/02/01,
we were firstly divided into several groups mainly three and we
were taken to the case hearing courtroom by our respected mam
Rukmina dahal and Sahas acharya sir. While entering the
courtroom, I observed that the courtroom was well furnished and
benches were separated for the judges, lawyers, proceedings
staffs and for general people who witness the cases. Modern
technologies were equipped like computer, fax machine, laptop,
printer, etc. for the smooth operation of the court. There was just
an issue with the cleanliness, remaining everything was well
decorated.
The Pannel of 2 judges arrived into the room followed by the
lawyers before them and the hearing get started. The case hearing
on that day was a civil dispute. After coming out of the courtroom
we were guided by the registrar of the court Mr. Jitendra Thapliya.
First, we were taken to the account section, there we came to
know about the details of revenue withdrawals. Everyday, court
collects the revenues and the bill is sent to the revenue office.
All these details are guided by the Economic minister online via
litigation management system (LMS), the revenue is collected in
large amount, it is sent to the office on the same day. Then we
know about the due process of law where he told us about the
duplicate partitions, which were altogether 52 in types. The detail
information about the duration adding format is found on the help
desk. From Shravan 2079 to Baisakh 2080, altogether 3340
duplicate petitions letter were provided at free of cost, as per the
Registrar. 405 other petitions letter were also distributed at free of
cost under court premises. He also said that the people, 380 in
number were unable to write the petitions, were helped by the
help desk to write such petition. Token machine is also available at
the help desk to write notices on sequential order. He also said
that, from Shravan 2079 to Baisakh 2080, total 42 lakhs revenues
were collected. Notice or petitions are submitted at filing section.
Judgements and decisions have been made to more than 46.35%
of registered cases from 2079 to 2080.
