What does it do?
- Enacted in the Panchayat era, the Act gives the government power to guide 'class and professional organisations' (children's, youth, women's, peasants', workers' and similar organisations) towards national development. No such organisation may be formed without the government's prior approval of its constitution, which the government may amend, refuse without giving reasons if it finds the organisation not aimed at its stated purpose or against the national interest, and only one organisation per class or profession may be approved where the government has formed or recognised one.पञ्चायतकालमा बनेको यो ऐनले बाल, युवा, महिला, किसान, मजदुर जस्ता 'वर्गीय तथा व्यावसायिक संगठन' लाई राष्ट्र निर्माण र विकासतर्फ परिचालन गर्न सरकारलाई निर्देशन दिने अधिकार दिन्छ। सरकारको पूर्वस्वीकृतिबिना त्यस्तो संगठन खोल्न पाइँदैन; सरकारले विधान संशोधन गर्न सक्छ, उद्देश्यअनुरूप नभएको वा राष्ट्रहितमा असर पर्ने देखे कारण नदेखाई अस्वीकार गर्न सक्छ, र सरकारले आफैँ खोलेको वा मान्यता दिएको भए एउटै वर्ग वा व्यवसायको एकभन्दा बढी संगठनलाई स्वीकृति दिँदैन। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Preamble; Sections 2–3, pp. 1–3
- Students may form unions in universities, colleges and schools only with the approval of the vice-chancellor, principal or head teacher, and those who form one without approval or break its rules can be expelled for up to two years, during which no school or college in Nepal may admit them.विश्वविद्यालय, महाविद्यालय वा विद्यालयमा विद्यार्थीले उपकुलपति, प्राचार्य वा प्रधानाध्यापकको स्वीकृति लिएर मात्र संघ–संस्था खोल्न पाउँछन्; स्वीकृतिबिना खोलेमा वा नियमविपरीत काम गरेमा बढीमा दुई वर्षसम्म निष्कासन गर्न सकिन्छ, र सो अवधिभर नेपालको कुनै शिक्षण संस्थामा भर्ना हुन पाइँदैन। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Section 3(8), pp. 3–4
- The government may issue binding national directions to class, professional and other organisations on their work and activities, and may delegate these powers by Gazette notice. Forming an organisation without approval can bring a fine of up to Rs 500 or six months' prison, and the organisation is illegal; breaching the Act can lead to a fine or the organisation's suspension or dissolution. Government orders under the Act are final and cannot be questioned in court.सरकारले वर्गीय, व्यावसायिक र अन्य संगठनलाई तिनका काम र गतिविधिबारे बाध्यकारी राष्ट्रिय निर्देशन दिन सक्छ, र राजपत्रमा सूचना निकालेर यो अधिकार प्रत्यायोजन गर्न सक्छ। स्वीकृतिबिना संगठन खोलेमा रु. ५०० सम्म जरिवाना वा छ महिनासम्म कैद हुन सक्छ र संगठन अवैध हुन्छ; ऐन उल्लङ्घन गरेमा जरिवाना वा संगठन निलम्बन वा खारेज हुन सक्छ। ऐनअन्तर्गत सरकारले दिएका आदेश अन्तिम हुन्छन् र अदालतमा प्रश्न उठाउन पाइँदैन। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Sections 5–6 and 8, pp. 4–5
