India–Nepal Judicial Cooperation
Context

Key Highlights of the MoU
- The agreement provides a structured framework for collaboration through:
- Judicial exchanges
- Joint research initiatives
- Capacity-building programmes and training
- Seminars and official visits
- The initiative aims to address shared judicial challenges such as:
- Delays in justice delivery
- Limited access to justice
- Need for digitisation

Mutual Learning in Jurisprudence
