Charikot, Feb. 5: Chief Justice Keshav Prasad Upadhyaya inaugurated the newly constructed bar building of Nepal Bar Association, Dolkha unit here today.

In his inaugural speech, Chief Justice Upadhyaya said since dispensation of justice is very complicated successful dispensation of justice requires honesty and dedication on the part of all those involved in judicial sector.

He also highlighted the importance of legal practitioners and constructive cooperation of the bar in dispensation of justice.

The main objective of the court and bar is to remain alert to see to it that all the people receive justice, he said, adding legal practitioners should strive for the victory of justice not their own as victory of justice is a victory of peace, and victory of good governance.

Temptation on the part of legal practitioners for monetary gains tarnishes the image of the entire judicial sector, he said, stressing the need for them to remain alert against such a temptation.

At the function, the Chief Justice presented letters of commendation, prizes and shawls to engineer Shambhu Upreti and ex-president of Appellate Bar Association, Patan Laxmi Prasad Upreti for their significant contribution to the construction of the bar building.

The building was constructed at a cost of Rs.534,504.
