(Article 35/1) 3) Except as otherwise expressly provided as to be exercised exclusively by His Majesty or at His discretion or on the recommendation of any institution or official, the powers of His Majesty under this Constitution shall be exercised upon the recommendation and advice and with the consent of the Council of Ministers. Such recommendation, advice and consent shall be submitted through the Prime Minister. (Article 35/2) 4) The most obvious untouched remnant of absolute power left to the king is that of absolute legal immunity: "No question shall be raised in any court about any act performed by His Majesty" (Article 31). However, such immunity is hardly a unique privilege of the king; it also extends to Ministers, Parliament and various government offices and commissions in matters such as the government's failure to implement the "fundamental" constitutionally mandated directive principles and policies (Article 24), recommendations or advice given by the Council of Ministers "or any other institution or official" (Article 35), nonobservance of rules governing the conduct of government business (Article 41), irregular proceedings in Parliament (Article 62), allocation of election seats (Article 105), and, perhaps most ominously, the suspension of fundamental rights during proclamations of emergency (Article 115). Thus, to the extent that the constitution may contain potential weak spots and dangers for popular sovereignty and democracy, they may lie in immunity from recourse against abuses from forces in the government that are not confined to a possible future resurgence of absolutism in the monarchy itself. On the other hand, it is difficult to imagine how any government could function without some kinds of immunities to safeguard against harassment and malicious interference. Like the U.S. constitution's provisions for legislative immunities (Article 1, Section 6: "...they shall not be questioned in any other place."), other democratic countries provide legal immunities either within the text of constitutional documents or elsewhere in the written and unwritten matrix of constitutional principles and practices. In Nepal, as elsewhere, their potential for democratic or undemocratic implementation will be worked out within this larger matrix.
