The justice system has had a checkered past in Nepal. The chieftain of Gorkha is publicly celebrated for administering victors’ justice to the vanquished. For over hundred years, the word of not just one ruler but the entire Rana clan was the law.

However, darkness soon enveloped as not just the speech but even wishes of Shah Kings became tantamount to supreme law.
