By- Luma kanta Bhandari रामायणमा एउटा रोचक प्रसंग छ । राम वनवासम छंदा सितामैयाले सुनको मृगलाई आफ्नो बनाउने चक्करमा रामलाई सुनको मृग समात्न पठाउछिन भने रामले पनि लक्ष्मणलाई सिताको संरक्षणको जिम्मा लागाई आफू जंगल जान्छन् । तर त्यो मृग सुनको नभै मायाको रहेको र ऋषीले रामको जस्तै आवाज निकालेर भाइको नाम पुर्कादा लक्ष्मण चिन्तित भइ दाजु रामको खोजिमा जानुभन्दा अगाडी एउटा रेखा बनाउन भाउजुको रक्षार्थ निमीत्त र यसलाई उल्लंघन नर्गन अनुरोध गरेर दाइको खोजिमा निस्कन्छन् । पछि लक्ष्मणले सिताको रक्षार्थ बनाएको रेखालाई नै लक्ष्मणरेखा भनियो र त्यस लक्ष्मणरेखालाई नाघेको परिणामस्वरूप सिता अपहरण हुनुफ्यो भने सम्पूर्ण रामायण युद्धको कारण बन्यो ।  रामायणकालदेखीनै लक्ष्मणरेखालाई कुनै पनि कुराको परिधि वा सिमानाको रूपमा बुझन थालीयो । यस लेखमा लक्ष्मणरेखालाई चुनावसंग दाजेर हेनु चाहि चुनाव पनि हामी सबैको एउटा परिधि पा सिमाना को परिक्षा हो । जस्तै उम्मेदवारले आफ्नो काम वा भिजनको, जनताले आफ्नो अमुल्य स्वविवेकको, मिडियाले सहि सुचना प्रवाहको, सरकारले अभिभावकत्वको आदि आदि। त्यसक्रममा समाजका सबै पक्षसंग नैतीक र व्यव...

घरायसी लिखत तपाइले आफैंले घरमा तयार गरेपनि हुन्छ । तयार यसरि गर्नु कि स्थानिय निकायमा दर्ता गर्न लायकको होस । लिखत तयार गर्दा ती पुस्ते बाजे बुबा समेतको नाम लेख्ने । नागरिकता नम्बर राख्ने, ठेगाना पहिलाको अहिलेको स्पष्टरुपमा राख्ने, कागजको प्रयोजन के हो खुलाउने । रकम लिने दिने कोको हो स्पष्ट खुल्न परो । ब्याज लिने नलिने कुरा । म्याद कहिले रकम भुक्तान गर्ने हो सो । रकम नदिए के हुने भन्ने पनि खुलाउने । ब्याज १० प्रतिशत भन्दा बढि लिन पाइदैंन । कुन ठाउमा बसेर कागज गरेको हो त्यो पनि । साक्षि को नागरिकता नम्बर सहित राखेर कागज गर्ने । सहि र औठा छाप पनि अनिवार्य लगाउने । अब यस्ता साना कुराको लागि वकिल खोजिरहनु पर्दैन । वकिल भएपनि नभएपनि स्थानीय निकायमा दर्ता नभएको कागज काम लाग्दैन । २०७५ भदौ पछिका सबै कागज वडा कार्यालयमा दर्ता हुनै पर्छ । ५० हजार भन्दा मुनिका कागज नगरेपनि फरक पर्दैन । विस्वास को आधारमा कागज नगर्नु । गर्ने हो भने घाटा लागे लागोस भन्ने मनसायले गर्नुस । कागज पढ्नुस । राम्रो सग । १० चोटि पढ्नु । बाठो मान्छेले बाठो मान्छेको साहारामा कागज बनाउछ । जसले हामि कानून नजानेका लाइ ठिकै देखि...

An example to understand law of compensation. A man on bike while trying to avoid a pothole on road, struck with a truck and died on spot. The heirs can claim compensation/damages from two authorities. 1) Compensation from insurance company of truck or its Owner. 2) Under law of tort, in civil court, damages from Municipality for negligence in not keeping roads potholes free. While calculating damages, the Civil Court will deduct compensation if any paid by the insurance company or owner of the truck. Fine Point of Law: The words Compensation and Damages have different meanings. Their calculations are different.

According to data published by National crime record bureau, number of such case rose to 160% between the year 2016 to 2019 to 93. But conviction rate is very low i.e 3.3%.
