Alpine Law Associates - Locus Standi in Nepal
Locus standi is a fundamental principle of procedural law that determines who has the right to bring a case before the court. Traditionally, only those who suffered.
#LocusStandi #PublicInterestLitigation
सुप्रीम कोर्ट में एक जनहित याचिका दाखिल की गई है जिसमें एशिया कप के दौरान होने वाले भारत-पाकिस्तान मैच को रद्द करने की मांग की गई है। याचिकाकर्ता का तर्क है कि पाकिस्तान द्वारा लगातार सीमा पार आतंकवाद को बढ़ावा देने और जम्मू-कश्मीर में आतंकी घटनाओं के चलते दोनों देशों के बीच क्रिकेट संबंध अनुचित हैं।

What support services do PILS provide?
We can connect our members to a network of lawyers who can provide legal advice and representation in public interest cases.
Our members can apply for financial support to cover costs associated with taking a strategic public interest case, like court fees or to pay for expert reports.
In direct response to members’ requests, PILS have organised training sessions and published legal info guides to share knowledge and build capacity.
A few weeks ago, we shared what the first three letters of our name stood for. But what about the 'S' for support?
We tailor the legal and financial support we provide to the specific needs of each of our members’ requests.
