Titles, And Honors: Products Of Monarchy
By KTM Metro Reporter
July 17, 2011: hearing on the case filed at the Supreme Court of Nepal against the recommendations made by the government to the president for awarding various titles, and honors, a bench of Justice Balaram KC and Justice Mohan Prakash Sitaula has ruled that Nepal has been Federal Democratic Republic, so awarding such titles and honors by the president of a Federal Democratic Nation is mutually exclusive; such things should not happen and the provision for such things should not be included in the new constitution, ‘Gorkhapatra’ of today writes.
The ruling has stated that Nepal has been a republic; nobody can be above the law in the republic; so titles, and honors should not be conferred on anybody. Titles, and honors are the products of monarchy.
