Nepal Supreme Court Nepal’s Supreme Court allows online delivery services
The apex court in Nepal directed authorities to allow home delivery services of online stores in the country during the COVID-19 lockdown. The interim order passed by the court overturned an earlier decision of the government that prohibited the sale of goods and services from e-commerce services.
The order was passed on Monday by a two-judge bench, Justices Sapana Pradhan Malla and Kumar Chudal, directing the government not to pose any hindrance in the delivery of goods through online medium and also to allow e-commerce services to continue.
However, the interim order also directed service providers to adhere to all the COVID-19 safety protocols, reported The Himalayan Times. At a time when most parts in the country are under lockdown; shops and markets are closed; the ruling came as a big relief to consumers as well as e-commerce firms.
