Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The ruling addresses the government's failure to frame rules under the Narcotic Drugs (Control) Act for a prolonged period. The new regulations must cover licensing, cultivation, production, processing, storage, use, sale, distribution, import, and export of cannabis for specified purposes.

Citizens in Kathmandu had previously protested debt issues and subsequently made judicial appeals to the highest court.
