Supreme Court transfers 328 court staff and publishes the list
Under a 1 October decision, 328 non-gazetted employees, most of them nayab subba, have been moved between district, high and specialised courts.
The Supreme Court of Nepal, which also manages the administration of the court system, has transferred 328 court employees under a decision of 1 October (15 Asoj 2083 BS). The list, published as a “Notice on transfers under the Supreme Court decision of 2083/06/15”, gives each employee’s code number, post, name, current court and new court.
Most of those listed are nayab subba, a non-gazetted clerical rank. The rest are other non-gazetted and unclassified staff. Moves run from district courts to high courts, from high courts to the Supreme Court, and to the Special Court and the Debt Recovery Tribunal. Some employees already on deputation have been formally transferred, with their post, to the court where they were serving.
Background
The court had earlier issued a notice inviting non-gazetted and unclassified employees to fill in transfer request forms. The list followed that exercise. Around the same period, the court also published:
- a deputation notice under a decision of 29 September (13 Asoj);
- a deputation notice for gazetted second-class officers under a decision of 12 August (27 Shrawan);
- a deputation notice for district judges under a decision of 31 July (15 Shrawan).
Why it matters
Nayab subba and junior staff deal directly with court users on case registration, hearing lists, certified copies and execution of judgments. According to the Chief Justice’s first four-monthly report, separate organisation and management survey committees have been formed to improve staff management at the Judicial Council secretariat and across the judiciary, with a five-member high-level steering committee to guide them.
Employees can find their name and new court in the PDF list on the Supreme Court website. Conditions on release from the current post and reporting for duty are set out in the original notice.
