Art. 152 · Part 12
Remuneration of AG
महान्यायाधिवक्ताको पारिश्रमिक
Original Text
The remuneration and conditions of service of the Attorney General shall be equivalent to that of a Judge of the Supreme Court, as provided by law.
💡 Plain Language Explanation
The AG gets paid the same as a Supreme Court judge — salary, pension, and benefits. This parity matters: it signals that Nepal\'s top government lawyer is equivalent in stature to its top judges. The pay is set by law, not by the PM, preventing financial manipulation.
🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या
महान्यायाधिवक्ताको पारिश्रमिक सर्वोच्च अदालतको न्यायाधीश सरह — कानुनले तोकेअनुसार।
✅ Strengths
SC judge-equivalent pay attracts qualified lawyers to the position.
⚠️ Concerns
Despite equivalent pay, the AG\'s lack of tenure security makes it less attractive than a judgeship.
