Art. 135 · Part 11
Jurisdiction of District Court
जिल्ला अदालतको क्षेत्राधिकार
Original Text
District Courts have original jurisdiction as prescribed by law. They handle civil, criminal, and other cases as the court of first instance within their district.
💡 Plain Language Explanation
District Courts try cases first — they\'re where evidence is presented, witnesses testify, and initial verdicts are delivered. Their jurisdiction covers their district boundary. Whatever the law says a District Court can hear, it hears — from murder to property disputes to domestic violence.
