Bill to Amend some Nepal Acts Related to Civil Code tabled

Kathmandu, July 27  : Bill to Amend Some Nepal Acts Related to Civil Code, 2080 received from the House of Representatives with message has been tabled in today's meeting of the National Assembly.    

NA Secretary Dr Surendra Aryal tabled the bill. The bill was originated and passed in the National Assembly while the HoR had passed the bill with amendment on July 16.    
The bill would be forwarded for authentication once the NA accepts the amendment to the bill.    

Putting forth his view before tabling the bill, Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Dhanraj Gurung said it has become inevitable to bring the amended version of some Nepal Acts in order to provide justice to usury victims after the ordinance related to usury terminated.  

  
Clarifying that it was necessary to bring the bill in order to bring those involved in loan sharking under the ambit of law, he expressed the belief that a replacement bill would be brought before termination of the ordinance in coming days.    

On the occasion, NA Chairperson Ganesh Prasad Timilsina drew the attention of the concerned sides to follow provision and deadline as per the Constitution in process of making laws.   

 
The meeting was postponed in order to meet next after 31 minutes. The main opposition party in the NA has drawn attention not to run other House business except the bill, demanding high-level probe committee in recent gold smuggling scam. (RSS)
