Drafting of Plan in itself is not a big task. The usefulness of the Plan is determined by its implementation and from the reforms achieved therein. During the implementation of the previous Plan, the following deficiencies were noted: lack of ownership, lack of capacity to implement the Plan, lack of proper disbursement of resources needed for the plan and implementation of the budget. Provided, there is objections to the reform and changes within and outside the judiciary and provided this is not addressed by the concerned leadership, there is a risk of the Plan not achieving its expected results. The risk identified by the Plan is one of the major challenges which need to be mitigated or managed. The leadership of the organization should from their respective organization maintain cooperation and coordination with the external actors and should garner support for the implementation of the Plan and likewise internal monitoring of the Plan and directives should be provided on a daily basis. Implementation of the Plan should be considered as a personal and institutional obligation of each justice actor. Within this background, we have tried to express the said Plan to be our own and have also expressed our ownership. Let us formulate annual work plans according to our level and let us pursuant to our own capacity and competencies express our commitment towards the implementation of the Plan. Judiciary in comparison to other institutions is an institution that has been continuously providing its services even in adverse conditions. The opportunity to work in the justice sector in itself is a matter of honor and prestige and it is our responsibility to expand and extend this honor. The only thing lacking among us is honesty, etiquette and commitment. We are to proceed with etiquette and commitment we can achieve most of the targets set by the Plan. If there is commitment, target is not impossible to achieve and in this regard I am confident that the Supreme Court will play the role of leadership and all justice actors will strive towards achieving the targets of the Plan. The present Plan has been formulated within a very short period through the experience and skills of judges and employees working in the judiciary. At the time when the judiciary was contemplating as to whether or not continuity should be given to the Plan, the honorable Chief Justice Min Bahadur Rayamajhi gave priority to the formulation of the Plan and pursuant to the direction and encouragement given by the Chief Justice formulation of the Plan has been possible. At a personal level I have had the opportunity of being involved from the first Plan. I would like to thank the Chief Justice for providing me with an opportunity to coordinate the formulation of the present Plan and would like to express my gratitude for the directions provided by him during the various stages of formulation of the Plan. Likewise, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Honorable Justice Anup Raj Sharma, Supreme Court for his invaluable time and suggestions made during the consultation meeting in Pokhara. Similarly, I would like to thank all the justices of the Supreme Court for providing their suggestions with a short period of time. On the basis of the mixed achievements made from the analysis of the first Plan and where question of continuity of the Plan was being raised, the national conference of the judges expressing for continuity of the Plan and with the unanimous opinion of the stakeholders regarding formulation of the Plan, has added further impetus and encouragement to the Plan Formulation Committee. Important suggestions have been obtained from the various consultation meetings. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Chief Judges and judges of the Appellate Courts, Registrar, District Court judges, Shresthadar, Judgment Executing Officers, officers/employees, Office of the Attorney General and participants of its subordinate offices, legal practitioners, parties to the case, participants representing Nepal Police, professors and participants representing E
universities, representatives of stakeholders of other justice sectors and media personnel for their active participation. I would like to convey my gratitude to Dr. Ram Krishna Timalsena, Registrar, Supreme Court and member of the Plan Formulation Committee for making available logistics deemed necessary during the formulation process. Likewise, I would like to thank consultant Dr. Shree Krishna Shrestha for his participation and important contribution made during the preparation of the Plan and during the consultation meetings. Likewise, I would like to thank consultant Mr. Rajan Kumar K.C. for his contribution towards formulation of the budget of the Plan. Similarly, I would like to thank Ms. Eileen Meier from Conflict Mitigation Program (CMP) and participants from that organization for providing support for conducting the consultation meetings and for making the Plan participatory. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the Executive Director of National Judicial Academy and former justice of the Supreme Court Mr. Top Bahadur Singh for his participation in the various consultation meetings and for his invaluable suggestions and for providing his invaluable time. Finally, I would like to thank the Members of the Plan Formulation Committee Dr. Anand Mohan Bhattarai, Judge, Appellate Court, Dr. Ram Krishna Timalsena, Registrar, Supreme Court, Honorable District Court Justice Binod Prasad Sharma, Mr. Atma Ram Pandey, Joint-Secretary, National Planning Commission, Joint-Secretary Mr. Ran Bahadur Shrestha, Ministry of Finance and Joint-Registrar Mr. Binod Sharma, Supreme Court for their continuous support and directions provided during the formulation of the Plan.

I would like to highly evaluate their contribution and congratulate them for formulation of the Plan.
