At the height of a political corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney attacked a witness. “Isn’t it true,” he bellowed, “that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case?”
The witness stared out the window, as though he hadn’t heard the question.
“Isn’t it true that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case?” the lawyer repeated.
The witness still did not respond.
Finally, the judge leaned over and said, “Sir, please answer the question.”
“Oh,” the startled witness said, “I thought he was talking to you.”

A defendant was on trial for murder in Philadelphia.
There was strong evidence indicating guilt, but there was no co**se.
In the defense’s closing statement the lawyer, knowing that his client would probably be convicted, resorted to a trick.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all," the lawyer said as he looked at his watch.
"Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom."
He looked toward the courtroom door. The jurors, somewhat stunned, all looked on eagerly.
A minute passed.
Nothing happened.
Finally the lawyer said, "Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I, therefore, put it to you that there is reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict of not guilty."
The jury, clearly confused, retired to deliberate.
A few minutes later, the jury returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty.
"But how?" inquired the lawyer. "You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you stare at the door."
Answered the jury foreman: "Oh, we did look. But your client didn’t."

Notary and its overview

Introduction

A Notary is an officer of the law who holds an internationally recognised public office. The duty and function of a Notary is to prepare, attest, authenticate and certify deeds and other documents, for use anywhere in the world. His/her signature and official seal renders them acceptable, as proof of the matter attested by him/her, to the judicial or other public authorities in the country where they are to be used.

Clients often require notarial services when dealing with overseas matters. A Notary mainly acts as an impartial and legally trained witness to authenticate and certify the ex*****on of documents required or intended for use inside and outside Nepal.

By virtue of the international status, the signature and seal of a Notary is recognised as evidence of a responsible legal officer in most countries of the world.

Notary Public in Nepal

The notarial service is not new for outside world but for Nepal, this is a new concept for providing services to commoners. The Notary Public Act has come into force in 2007 and Notary Public Rules 2007 also has come into force interalia. The act has accepted that the Notary Public is an officer who can administer oaths and statutory declarations, witness and authenticate documents and perform certain other acts depending on the jurisdiction. They can verify, attest, authenticate public documents and affidavits. They can also attest personal certificates and translate them.

For the purpose of the authentication, most countries require commercial or personal documents which originate from or are signed in another country to be notarized before they can be used or officially recorded or before they can have any legal effect. This includes the translation of such documents done by an expert translator entitled by a government entity.

Notary Public Council Nepal (NPCN) is regulatory body and has issued certificates to seven-year-old experienced lawyers to work as notary public. Invoking Clause 37 of the Act Relating to Notary Public Act, 2007, the NPCN has issued the code of conduct (November 2007) prohibiting the notaries public from involving themselves in corrupt and illegal activities and misusing the authority delegated by the state. If any notary public is found to be involved in attesting fake document, he/she may be jailed for up to four years and be fined up to Nepalese Rs 200,000.
