Art. 296 · Part 33

Transitional Provisions

संक्रमणकालीन व्यवस्था
💡Highlight any phrase below and we'll explain what it means.
Original Text

All laws in force at commencement shall remain in force until amended or repealed. All employees of federal government shall continue. Existing courts continue.

💡 Plain Language Explanation

When the 2015 constitution came into force, Nepal needed a smooth transition. All old laws remained valid until replaced. All government employees kept their jobs. Old courts continued operating. This prevented a governmental vacuum during the transition to federalism - which was completed by 2022 with local elections.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

संविधान लागु हुँदा पुराना कानुन, कर्मचारी र अदालत यथावत रहे। संघीयता क्रमशः लागु भयो।

Good Aspects

Smooth transition prevented governance collapse during federal transition.

⚠️ Concerns

Transition lasted longer than expected - full federal implementation took until 2022.
