Ordinance
When Parliament is not in session and immediate action is necessary, the President may promulgate an Ordinance on Cabinet recommendation. It has the force of law but must be tabled in Parliament within 60 days and lapses if not approved.
When Parliament is on recess and there\'s an urgent need for a new law, the Cabinet can ask the President to issue an Ordinance — a temporary law. But it\'s not permanent: it must be brought before Parliament within 60 days and converted into a proper Act. If Parliament rejects it, it dies. This is emergency lawmaking, not a shortcut around democracy.

Provides legal mechanism for genuine emergencies between parliamentary sessions.
Nepal has a long history of ordinance abuse — governments have used them to avoid parliamentary debate on controversial issues.
