4.6 Existing Position of Comparative Law in Nepal

The reception's map (the modern Nepali law's comparative genealogy): the Anglo-Indian procedural inheritance (the adversarial-and-evidence craft); the continental code affinity (the Ain- to-2074 tradition); the international-law incorporation (the Treaty Act 2047's machinery; the pro- treaty interpretation); the model-law borrowings (the company-banking-insurance-IP-environment statutes' UNCITRAL-WIPO-and-other frames); the Indian-and-comparative case-law's persuasive authority (the courts' comparative reasoning — the constitutional jurisprudence's Indian-and- commonwealth citations). The comparative law's institutional faces: the law-reform machinery (the Law Commission — the drafting's comparative craft); the legal education (the comparative courses' place — this very course's presence); the judiciary's comparative practice (the constitutional bench's foreign-citation lines); the profession's-and-academy's comparative scholarship. The honest audit (the closing essay): the transplantation's record (the well-rooted borrowings (the codes, the procedures) vs the ornamental statutes (the technical laws without the implementation)); the future's craft (the informed-borrowing discipline — the Unit 1 method's Nepali application; the context-fit's test; the local innovation's confidence — the guthi-and- panchayat-and-PIL traditions' own contributions to the world's legal mosaic).
