The Order of precedence of Nepal is the protocol list (hierarchy) in which the functionaries and officials are listed according to their rank and office in the Government of Nepal. As the country embraces federalism,the government finalized a new order of precedence in April 2019. The earlier order of precedence was revised by adjusting some key positions,mainly with the provincial administrations in place. The President is at the top of protocol,followed by the Vice President and then the Prime Minister.
The Provincial Assembly of Lumbini Province also known as the Lumbini Pradesh Sabha,is a unicameral governing and law making body of Lumbini Province,one of the 7 provinces in Nepal,and is situated at Butwal,the interim province capital of Lumbini Province,with 60 Members of the Provincial Assembly (MPA).
In the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal,a governor is the constitutional head of each of the seven provinces. The governor is appointed by the President of Nepal recommended by federal cabinet for a term of five years,and holds office at the President's pleasure. The governor is de jure head of the provincial government;all its executive actions are taken in the governor's name. However,the governor must act on the advice of the popularly elected council of ministers,headed by the chief minister,which thus holds de facto executive authority at the province-level. The Constitution of Nepal also empowers the governor to act upon his or her own discretion,such as the ability to appoint or dismiss a ministry,recommend president's rule for the president's assent.
Sir Ratna Bahadur Bista was the fifth Chief Justice of Nepal. He was born in Dadeldhura to an aristocratic family that was given land grants in Sudurpashchim Province circa 1911 during a hunting trip by King George V of the United Kingdom and Chandra Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana,the Prime Minister of the Rana Dynasty. He went on to become the 5th Chief Justice of Nepal,in office from 26 July 1970 to 6 August 1976. He was appointed by the then-king of Nepal,Mahendra. He was responsible for the Summary Procedure Act 1971. The Committee that he established recommended for the establishment of High Courts in different regions which resulted in the creation of a four tiered judicial structure with one additional tier in the middle- "the Regional Courts."
