Sankhuwasabha District Court

The Sankhuwasabha District Court, located in Chainpur, serves as the primary judicial body for the Sankhuwasabha district in eastern Nepal. It operates under the Supreme Court of Nepal and is responsible for handling civil, criminal, and administrative cases within the district. The court plays a vital role in ensuring justice, maintaining law and order, and safeguarding the constitutional rights of the people. Recently, the court inaugurated a newly constructed building in Chainpur, which was formally opened by the Chief Justice of Nepal, Bishwambhar Prasad Shrestha. This development reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening judicial infrastructure and accessibility for citizens.

The court is headed by respected district judges and supported by administrative staff, including registrars and legal officers. Honorable Judge Dhrubaraj Tripathi has been noted as one of its leading figures, overseeing judicial proceedings and ensuring fair trials. The court also engages in reconciliation efforts, custody-related matters, and community-level judicial inspections. For example, judicial committees in rural municipalities like Silichong have been monitored and guided by the district court to ensure local justice delivery is effective and aligned with national standards. Such outreach highlights the court’s role not only in formal legal proceedings but also in strengthening grassroots justice mechanisms.

Beyond its legal functions, the Sankhuwasabha District Court contributes to civic life by recognizing and honoring exemplary employees during national service days. This reflects its dual role as both a judicial and community institution. With modern facilities, improved accessibility, and dedicated leadership, the court continues to serve as a cornerstone of justice in Sankhuwasabha, ensuring that the rule of law is upheld in one of Nepal’s culturally rich and geographically diverse districts.
