Art. 237 · Part 20

Concurrent List Implementation

साझा अधिकारसूची कार्यान्वयन
Original Text

On matters in the concurrent list (Schedules 7 and 9), all three tiers of government may legislate. In case of conflict, federal law prevails over provincial law, and provincial law prevails over local law.

💡 Plain Language Explanation

Some subjects (education, health, environment, forests) are shared between all three government levels. All can make laws on these topics. But when laws conflict, there\'s a clear hierarchy: federal beats provincial, provincial beats local. This \'federal supremacy\' clause prevents legal chaos but limits lower-tier autonomy on shared subjects.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

साझा अधिकारका विषयमा तीनै तहले कानुन बनाउन सक्छन्। विरोध भएमा: संघीय > प्रदेश > स्थानीय।

✅ Strengths

Clear hierarchy prevents contradictory laws on the same subject.

⚠️ Concerns

Federal supremacy in concurrent matters effectively reduces provincial and local legislative autonomy.
