KATHMANDU: Nepal Bar Association (NBA) has expressed reservation to the report of the Probe Commission-2082 formed to investigate the incidents occurred during the Gen Z Protest on last September 28-29.

Noting that the probe report has mentioned the matters related to the judiciary going beyond the given scope of work in a condemnable manner, the NBA has called for advisory committee meeting for 1.30 pm today.

“The report has come in a way that could negatively affect the judiciary and legal practitioners. We have reservation to the report. It would be seriously discussed among the law practitioners,” NBA general secretary Kedar Prasad Koirala told RSS.

The report mentions issues such as eliminating anomalies including lawyers’ exorbitant fees, and preventing justice from becoming a lawyer’s paradise to make justice accessible.

“Ordinary people do not have access to justice; it is said that Nepali citizens are not in a position to easily access justice. For those having no money and access, justice has become a far cry. Lawyers who are supposed to advocate on behalf of a client are so expensive that even just drafting a simple petition can cost thousands,” the report states.
