excellent thread. the laws of nepal can be amended regarding butchering of cows. the 'Chaupaya ko mahal' or 'Of animals' chapter in the Civil Code 1963 has the provision of life sentencing against cow-slaughter along with other femal animals. I am sure some lawyer in nepal is goiung to file a writ petition in the supreme court demanding immediate nullification of the aforesaid legal prohibition, on grounds of 'secular state' theory and the spirit of the new proclamation. If I were in nepal and if any muslim or any client were to ever approach me with this subject matter, i would surely have filed this case and I guarantee you all, I would have won this case too. There is anothert way to file the case, i.e. public interest litigation. When a rationale number of people are affected by any law, and if a lawyer or any citizen finds such law and legal provision discriminatory, he/she can file this writ petition in the supreme court under article 88(1) and 88(2) of the constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal. WAIT !!!!! Constitution of the KINGDOM of Nepal ????????? Lets erase 'KINGDOM' from the constitution as well. LEGAL QUERRIES AND COMMENTS....WELCOME!
