Supreme Court Justice Sapana Malla viewed that all stakeholders must be aware whether human rights are violated and the accused condoned.

According to her, police and attorneys have important role on prosecution and litigation, she said, adding that prosecution must be made effective in order to realize that justice prevails even after the death of the criminal.

Similarly, Attorney General Agni Prasad Kharel also pointed out the need for strong coordination among the stakeholders to ensure effective investigation and prosecution.

Inspector General of Nepal Police, Sharbendra Khanal, pointed out the need of technological and scientific knowledge on those involved in investigation of crime and prosecution, so that rule of law could be ensured to the people.
