NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA) has expressed deep grief and anguish over the violent attack on the Supreme Court of Nepal, which saw part of the premises, including the office of the Attorney General, set ablaze by protesters. This tragic incident has resulted in the irretrievable loss of decade-old judicial records, striking at the heart of Nepal’s justice system.
In a resolution issued on 12th September 2025, SCAORA, led by President Vipin Nair and Secretary Nikhil Jain, condemned the attack, emphasizing that while public grievances must be addressed through dialogue and democratic means, violence against the highest judicial institution is unacceptable.
“While the concerns of the people are to be addressed by the Government through dialogue and democratic means, such an attack on the highest judicial institution of Nepal, which embodies and upholds the rule of law, is strongly condemned.”

The resolution underlined SCAORA’s commitment to stand in solidarity with Nepal’s judges, the bar, staff, and citizens during these turbulent times. It expressed hope for the safety, well-being, and peace for all affected, drawing inspiration from the resilience of the Nepalese people.
This attack comes amid widespread unrest in Nepal, following the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. Alongside the Supreme Court, protesters have also targeted the Parliament building, the President’s Office, and the Prime Minister’s residence, reflecting a period of significant political instability.
