चौथो शाखा
संवैधानिक निकाय
तेह्र स्वतन्त्र संवैधानिक निकाय — जसले सरकारलाई जवाफदेही बनाउने, निर्वाचनको रेखदेख गर्ने, अधिकार संरक्षण गर्ने र संघीय संस्थाहरूबाट ऐतिहासिक रूपमा बाहिर रहेका समुदायहरूको प्रतिनिधित्व गर्ने काम गर्छन्।
यी तेह्र निकाय कार्यपालिका, व्यवस्थापिका र न्यायपालिका भन्दा बाहिर बसेर शक्तिमाथिको चौथो नियन्त्रण प्रणालीका रूपमा काम गर्छन्।
यी निकायहरूको आधार
नेपालको संविधान २०७२ को भाग २७ ले समावेशी आयोगहरूलाई संवैधानिक हैसियत दिएको छ — राष्ट्रिय महिला, दलित, समावेशी, आदिवासी जनजाति, मधेशी, थारू र मुस्लिम आयोग।
अख्तियार दुरुपयोग अनुसन्धान आयोग, निर्वाचन आयोग, लोक सेवा आयोग र महान्यायाधिवक्ताको कार्यालय — यी चार पुराना निकाय २०७२ अघिदेखि कार्यरत छन्।
