About this catalogue

Built from the Nepal Law Commission, the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, the Nepal Gazette (2080–2083) and Parliament’s ordinance records. Where official lists disagree on whether a law is in force, the status shows as “not yet confirmed”. Original Nepali titles are retained. Where no published English title is available, Policy Nepal supplies a labelled title translation for navigation; this is not an English translation of the legal text. Repealed laws are not listed; their pages stay online for the record.
