KATHMANDU: The Supreme Court (SC) has issued a directive on behalf of the government to establish the Truth and Reconciliation Commission within one month.

On January 29, the division bench comprising Justices Kumar Regmi and Mahesh Sharma Paudel of the Supreme Court issued an order seeking the government’s resolution to address the grievances of conflict victims.

The full text of the order was made public on Tuesday.

As the order emphasizes the need for the effective functioning of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission within a month, the government must implement measures as per the directives within this timeframe.

The SC has also cautioned the government to ensure that the aggrieved party receives prompt and accurate information about their case within 15 days of the directive.
