Original Text

The AG represents the Government of Nepal in all courts. No case on behalf of the government shall be withdrawn without the AG\'s consent. The AG has the right to speak in Parliament but not vote.

💡 Plain Language Explanation

The AG\'s three key powers: (1) represent the government in ANY court in Nepal, (2) NO government case can be dropped without the AG\'s consent — this prevents political cover-ups, (3) can speak in Parliament on legal matters (but can\'t vote, since they\'re not an MP). The AG is the government\'s legal conscience.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

सरकारको तर्फबाट अदालतमा उपस्थित हुने, सरकारी मुद्दा फिर्ता लिन AG को सहमति अनिवार्य, संसदमा बोल्न सक्ने।

Good Aspects

Case withdrawal consent requirement is a crucial check against politically motivated case dropping.

⚠️ Concerns

AG\'s ability to block case withdrawal is theoretical — PMs have historically replaced uncooperative AGs.
