Kathmandu, April 24
More than 2,000 employees are needed to run the country’s judicial system in a full-fledged manner, the apex court says.
According to Supreme Court’s spokesperson Narayan Panthi, an organisational management survey conducted by the SC concluded that 6,665 employees were required across the country for the execution justice. Presently, the judiciary is operated by 4,586 people.
The SC conducts the survey every ten years. In the past ten years, work load per employee in judiciary has doubled. This has affected the timely delivery of justice.
According to Panthi, the SC itself needs more 147 employees, including two secretaries to cope with the work pressure. Presently, it has 452 employees.
Panthi said that the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration has been requested to provide employees as per the recommendations made by the survey.
