Relating to uterine prolapse-Decided Case
Writ Number 064-WO-0230
Year: 2064
Petitioner and Respondent: Advocate Prakash Mani Sharma and others on behalf of Pro Public v. Government of Nepal and Others
The Court held that uterine prolapse was a matter of public interest and the State had an obligation to address and remedy the issue. It considered that, in this case, the Legislature and Executive had abdicated their responsibilities by not protecting the right to reproductive health. Thus, the Court held that it had the power to issue appropriate directions to enact and execute laws upholding a woman’s constitutional right to reproductive health.
The Court therefore ordered the Government and several government agencies to hold a consultation, draft a bill, and prepare social programs aimed at addressing the issue of uterine prolapse.
