What does it do?
- This ordinance amends the Investigation of Enforced Disappeared Persons, Truth and Reconciliation Commission Act, 2071, which governs the two transitional-justice commissions. It was issued under Article 114(1) of the Constitution because Parliament was not in session.यो अध्यादेशले सङ्क्रमणकालीन न्यायसम्बन्धी दुई आयोगको व्यवस्था गर्ने बेपत्ता पारिएका व्यक्तिको छानबिन, सत्य निरुपण तथा मेलमिलाप आयोग ऐन, २०७१ संशोधन गर्छ। संसद्को अधिवेशन नभएकाले संविधानको धारा ११४(१) बमोजिम यो जारी गरिएको हो। Federal Parliament Secretariat (hr.parliament.gov.np) — ordinance text as tabled in the House of Representatives Preamble and Section 1, PDF p. 1
- It extends the commissions' time: the term of the chairperson and members in office when it took effect continues until the end of Asar 2078 (replacing section 6(1) and deleting section 6(4)), and the commission's own term is set to last until the end of Asar 2078 (replacing section 38(1)). It also adjusts a cross-reference in section 7(1).यसले आयोगको समय थप्छ: यो लागू हुँदा बहाल रहेका अध्यक्ष र सदस्यको पदावधि २०७८ असार मसान्तसम्म कायम रहने (दफा ६(१) प्रतिस्थापन र दफा ६(४) झिकेर) र आयोगको कार्यावधि पनि २०७८ असार मसान्तसम्म कायम रहने (दफा ३८(१) प्रतिस्थापन गरेर) व्यवस्था गर्छ। दफा ७(१) को एउटा सन्दर्भ पनि मिलाइएको छ। Federal Parliament Secretariat (hr.parliament.gov.np) — ordinance text as tabled in the House of Representatives Sections 2–4, PDF p. 1
- Under Article 114 of the Constitution, an ordinance has the same force as an Act, but it must be tabled at the next session of both Houses; it ceases to have effect if both Houses do not adopt it, if the President repeals it, or sixty days after both Houses meet. The House of Representatives' ordinance-status list records it as tabled in the House of Representatives (eighth session) on 2078-04-03 and in the National Assembly on 2078-04-03.संविधानको धारा ११४ अनुसार अध्यादेश ऐनसरह मान्य हुन्छ, तर यसलाई संसद्का दुवै सदनको पछिल्लो अधिवेशनमा पेश गर्नुपर्छ; दुवै सदनले स्वीकार नगरेमा, राष्ट्रपतिले खारेज गरेमा वा दुवै सदनको बैठक बसेको साठी दिनपछि यो स्वतः निष्क्रिय हुन्छ। प्रतिनिधि सभाको अध्यादेश-अवस्था सूचीमा यो प्रतिनिधि सभाको बैठक (आठौं अधिवेशन) मा २०७८-०४-०३ र राष्ट्रिय सभाको बैठकमा २०७८-०४-०३ मा पेश भएको उल्लेख छ। Nepal Law Commission · Federal Parliament of Nepal Article 114(1)–(2), PDF p. 62; HoR ordinance-status entry
