Editorial & Legal Review Policy

1. Purpose & Editorial Mission

MeroAdalat is published by Mero Adalat Law Associates Pvt. Ltd. (Reg. No. 370552/82/83), a registered legal firm based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Our mission is to provide clear, reliable, and practically actionable legal information to citizens, Non-Resident Nepalis (NRNs), foreign nationals, and business owners navigating the Nepalese legal system.

Because legal matters directly touch Your Money or Your Life (YMYL), our editorial standards prioritize statutory accuracy over quick publishing or clickbait.

2. Primary Source Verification Standards

Every legal article published on MeroAdalat must be anchored in verified primary legal sources, including:

• Official Acts & Codes: Authenticated statutes published by the Nepal Law Commission (Kanun Kitab Byabastha Samiti), including the National Civil Code 2074 (Muluki Dewani Samhita), National Penal Code 2074 (Muluki Aparadh Samhita), Companies Act 2063, and Labor Act 2074.
• Judicial Precedents: Landmark decisions of the Supreme Court of Nepal reported in the Nepal Kanoon Patrika (NKP) and official court bulletins.
• Government Gazette (Nepal Rajpatra): Official notifications, statutory amendments, fee updates, and ministry directives.

Our writers are strictly instructed never to cite unverified secondary blogs, rumor mills, or automated content without verifying against the relevant clause in the authentic Nepal Gazette or Law Commission text.

3. Authorship & Legal Review Hierarchy

We believe in complete transparency regarding who researched each article and who verified its legal soundness:

• Author Attribution: Every article clearly identifies its author by name, accompanied by their bio, legal background, and profile link.
• Supervising Legal Review: Flagship guides and core court roadmaps are reviewed and legally verified under the direction of Advocate Keshar Bahadur Dahal (Nepal Bar Council Registration No. 21858).
• Honest Attribution: Contributor articles that have not undergone formal one-on-one audit by a licensed advocate are explicitly labeled as "Supervised by Mero Adalat Editorial Desk" and queued for advocate review, rather than making unverified verification claims.

4. Content Currency & Date Transparency

Laws, court filing fees, and administrative procedures evolve. To prevent misleading readers with obsolete information:

• We display genuine update dates reflecting when content was substantively revised.
• When key statutory thresholds change (such as foreign investment minimums, court fees, or limitation periods), we conduct expedited reviews of all affected guides.

5. Non-Legal Advice Boundary

While our articles are prepared and audited by licensed advocates, online information cannot replace personalized legal counsel tailored to unique facts, evidentiary records, and court jurisdiction.

Articles on MeroAdalat provide public legal information and education. Accessing or reading our articles does not create a formal advocate-client relationship. Clients requiring court representation, petition drafting, or case assessment are encouraged to book a formal consultation with a licensed advocate.

6. Corrections & Feedback Protocol

If you identify a statutory inaccuracy, outdated court fee, or broken legal reference in any of our guides, we encourage prompt reporting.

Our editorial desk investigates reported discrepancies within 48 business hours. Verified corrections are promptly implemented with updated timestamps.
