The law's commentary — the map, never the territory:1. Textbooks and treatises — the settled exposition (use the current editions; the Nepali commentary tradition plus the Indian-and-English treatises).2. Journal articles — the scholarly debate (the law reviews, the Nepali law journals).3. Case comments and seminar reports.4. Law Commission reports and reform papers.5. Dissertations and theses.6. Credible legal databases and web resources — the court's own sites, the law library portals; the reliability test applies (the internet's seduction-and-verification lesson).
