The Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs has started a study to solve the problems that arise when development projects cannot be completed for a long time due to litigation and when development-related cases are not resolved for a long time in the courts. Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Sobita Gautam has formed a task force to solve the problems related to development projects and to study whether an 'infrastructure court' is necessary in Nepal.

The task force, which includes officials from the concerned ministries, has been formed under the coordination of the Secretary of the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs. Minister Gautam has said that the task force will submit a study report within 15 days and will also suggest whether an infrastructure court is necessary. 'Since the problem in development projects is due to litigation, we have been interested in how to resolve the litigation on a fast track.' "That is why we have formed a study task force to think about whether we need an infrastructure court in Nepal and to start work according to the recommendations after the study report is received within 15 days," Minister Gautam said. "Within the next 15 days, the study task force will help us conclude whether we need an infrastructure court or not." Minister Gautam said that after the report of the task force is received, a decision will be made whether to form an infrastructure court or to make legal arrangements to hear cases through a regular bench of an established court. "The constitution has a provision to form a specialized court. If we need an infrastructure court, we can form one. If the study task force concludes that this can be resolved through regular benches, we can work accordingly." Minister Gautam says that after the study of the

task force, the delay in the completion of development projects or the delay in the completion of construction due to litigation in the court can be resolved. 'We hear complaints that the projects of the Nepal government are not completed on time and the people are suffering a lot. Even when we look at it, we see that government projects are not completed for a long time. On the one hand, the people are suffering because the project is not completed, but at the same time, the cost increases due to the project not being completed on time and the country is also facing a financial burden,' Minister Gautam says about the reason for studying the need for the infrastructure court, 'We have taken loans from some project donor agencies and operated them. We have taken loans from various organizations like the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank and are operating the projects. We also had to pay the interest on the loan. Meanwhile, the project is not completed on time. The cost of this also increases, which is causing a huge financial burden to the country.'
