Nepal is a federal democratic republic under its 2015 Constitution, the seventh Nepali constitution since 1948, following a progression from monarchy through several earlier constitutional experiments. Its judiciary sits in three tiers, the Supreme Court, High Courts in each province, and District Courts in each district, with a Constitutional Bench of five Supreme Court justices, including the Chief Justice, hearing constitutional questions. The law of Nepal is generally classified as a mixed system, built on a civil code while the principle of stare decisis, deciding cases according to precedent, is also widely practiced.
