Provincial Attorney
Each Province shall have a Provincial Attorney, appointed by the Provincial Chief on recommendation of the Chief Minister, who serves as the Province\'s chief legal advisor.
Just as the federal government has an Attorney General, each province has its own Provincial Attorney — the province\'s top lawyer. Appointed by the Governor on the CM\'s recommendation, they represent the province in court, advise on legal matters, and decide whether the province should sue or be sued. They mirror the AG\'s role at the provincial level.
प्रत्येक प्रदेशमा प्रदेश न्यायाधिवक्ता — प्रदेशको मुख्य कानुनी सल्लाहकार। मुख्यमन्त्रीको सिफारिसमा नियुक्त।
Ensures each province has independent legal counsel, not dependent on Kathmandu.
Provincial attorneys are often underresourced and lack the stature of the federal AG.
