NAATI CCL Nepali कानुनी र न्याय अभ्यास संवाद

Good afternoon. I'm Senior Constable Williams. I need to take a statement from you regarding the accident that occurred this morning on Parramatta Road. Can you tell me what happened?

म पारामाटा रोडमा पूर्वतर्फ गाडी चलाइरहेको थिएँ जब अर्को गाडीले रातो बत्ती नमानेर मेरो यात्रु साइडमा ठक्कर दियो। यो यति छिटो भयो कि केही गर्न सकिनँ।

What speed were you travelling at when the collision occurred?

लगभग पचास किमी प्रति घण्टा, जुन गति सीमा हो। मेरो बत्ती हरियो थियो — म पूर्ण रूपमा निश्चित छु।

Were there any passengers in your vehicle? And was anyone injured?

मेरी श्रीमती यात्रु सीटमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो। उहाँको टाउको झ्यालमा लाग्यो र एम्बुलेन्सले अस्पतालमा लगियो। मलाई घाँटीमा दुखाइ छ तर गम्भीर छैन।

I'm sorry to hear about your wife. We've obtained CCTV footage from a nearby business which should help establish what happened. Did you exchange details with the other driver?

हो, नाम र लाइसेन्स नम्बर पाएँ। तर ऊ धेरै घबराइरहेको थियो र बारम्बार आफ्नो गल्ती होइन भनिरहेको थियो। बीमाको विवरण उसँग थिएन।

That's fine. We'll follow up with him separately. I'll need you to sign this statement once I've typed it up. You'll also need to report the accident to your insurance company within twenty-four hours.

के मलाई प्रहरी रिपोर्टको प्रतिलिपि पाउन सक्छु? बीमा कम्पनीलाई चाहिनेछ।

You can request a copy from our station after five business days. There's a small fee for the report. I'd also recommend taking photos of the damage to both vehicles if you haven't already.

मैले घटनास्थलमा फोटो खिचेको छु। धन्यवाद, अफिसर। अरू केही गर्नुपर्छ?

Hello, my name is Sarah and I'm from the Victim Support Service. I'm here to help you understand your options after the incident. Everything you tell me is confidential. How are you feeling?

अझै अस्थिर छु। हिजो राति स्टेशन बाहिर आक्रमण भयो। एक मानिसले झोला खोसेर भुइँमा धकेल्यो। हात र घुँडा छालिएको छ।

I'm very sorry that happened to you. Have you reported the incident to the police?

हो, आज बिहान प्रहरी चौकीमा गएँ। बयान लिए र भने कि सुरक्षा क्यामेरा जाँच गर्छन्।

Good. You've taken an important step. I want to make sure you know about victim support services — counselling, legal assistance, and financial help are all available free of charge.

त्यो थाहा थिएन। आज ट्रेनमा चढ्न डर लागेर काम छुट्टी लिएँ। कसरी आवेदन गर्ने?

I can help you with the application. You'll need the police report number, any medical records, and evidence of lost income. The process takes about three to six months.

लामो समय लाग्ने रहेछ। मलाई रातमा बाहिर जान पनि धेरै चिन्ता भइरहेको छ। यो सामान्य हो?

Absolutely. What you're feeling is a very common response to being a victim of crime. I can refer you to a free counselling service that specialises in trauma. Would you like that?

हो, मद्दत हुन्छ जस्तो लाग्छ। परिवारले बिर्स भन्छन्, तर मैले सोच्न छोड्न सकिरहेको छैन।

Please don't feel pressured to recover on anyone else's timeline. Trauma affects everyone differently. The counselling service can provide strategies to help you manage your anxiety and process what happened.

धन्यवाद, सारा। यति धेरै सहयोग उपलब्ध छ भनेर थाहा थिएन। अब एक्लो महसुस भएन।

Good morning. You've come in to discuss a speeding fine you received on Canterbury Road last month. I have your file here. How can I help?

म फाइनलाई चुनौती दिन चाहन्छु। म त्यति छिटो गइरहेको थिइनँ। क्यामेरामा त्रुटि भएको हुनुपर्छ।

The speed camera recorded your vehicle travelling at seventy-two kilometres per hour in a sixty zone. The cameras are regularly calibrated and tested. Do you have any evidence to support your claim?

छैन, तर म ट्राफिकसँगै गइरहेको थिएँ। सबैजना त्यही गतिमा गइरहेका थिए।

Unfortunately, the fact that other vehicles may have been speeding doesn't provide grounds for dismissal. However, you do have several options available to you.

कस्ता विकल्प? डेमेरिट पोइन्ट गुमाउन सक्दिन — कामको लागि लाइसेन्स चाहिन्छ।

You can pay the fine in full — three hundred and thirty dollars plus three demerit points. Or you can request a review, or elect to have it heard in court.

अदालतमा गए के हुन्छ? बिग्रन त सक्दैन?

In court, a magistrate could impose the same penalty, reduce it, or increase it. With a good driving record and genuine explanation, a reduced penalty is possible.

मैले पहिले कहिल्यै फाइन पाएको छैन। यसले मद्दत गर्छ?

A clean driving record helps. You could also write to the revenue office requesting a caution instead of a fine. Include your driving history and any special circumstances.

पहिले पत्र प्रयास गर्छु। विकल्पहरू स्पष्ट रूपमा बुझाइदिनुभएकोमा धन्यवाद।

Good morning. I'm the family dispute resolution mediator. Before we begin, I want to explain that my role is neutral — I don't take sides or make decisions for you.

हो, तर मलाई चिन्ता छ कि मेरी पूर्व साथी कुनै उचित कुरामा सहमत हुनेछैन। उनी बच्चाहरूलाई लिएर अर्को राज्यमा जान चाहन्छिन्।

I understand your concern. We'll discuss all proposals openly. The focus must always be on what's in the best interest of the children. How old are your children?

छोरा आठ, छोरी पाँच वर्षको। दुवै यहाँ विद्यालय जान्छन् र सबै साथीहरू यहीं छन्। अर्को राज्यमा सर्दा धेरै अवरोध हुनेछ।

Those are valid concerns. In our session today, both parties will have an opportunity to present their views. If we can't reach an agreement, you may need to apply to the Family Court for orders.

अदालतको प्रक्रियामा कति समय लाग्छ? खर्च कति?

Court proceedings can take twelve to eighteen months and legal costs can run into tens of thousands. Mediation is faster, cheaper, and gives you both more control over the outcome.

उनले मध्यस्थता अस्वीकार गरिन् भने? उनी धेरै असहयोगी छिन्।

Mediation requires both parties to participate voluntarily. However, you generally need a certificate from mediation before filing a court application. There are some exceptions for urgent matters.

अदालतले उनलाई बच्चाहरू लिएर जान रोक्न सक्छ?

The court can make orders about where children live and how much time they spend with each parent. In most cases, the court prefers arrangements where children have meaningful relationships with both parents.

म बच्चाहरूको लागि सबैभन्दा राम्रो चाहन्छु। बस उनीहरूलाई गुमाउन चाहन्नँ।

That's completely understandable. Let's see what we can achieve in today's session. I'll bring your ex-partner in now.

Good morning. This hearing is regarding your application for the return of your rental bond. You're claiming the full amount of two thousand one hundred and sixty dollars. Can you explain your case?

तीन वर्ष बसेँ र सधैं समयमा भाडा तिरेँ। जाँदा सम्पूर्ण अपार्टमेन्ट राम्ररी सफा गरेँ, तर घरधनीले कार्पेट र भित्तामा क्षति भएको दाबी गरिरहनुभएको छ।

Do you have photos of the property when you moved in and when you moved out?

हो, सर्दा र साँचो फिर्ता गर्दा दुवै दिन फोटो खिचेको छु। सामान्य टुटफुट बाहेक, अवस्था लगभग उस्तै थियो।

The landlord's agent claims there are stains on the bedroom carpet and marks on the walls. The agent is requesting eight hundred dollars for carpet cleaning and repainting. What's your response?

म सर्दा कार्पेट पहिलेदेखि नै पाँच वर्ष पुरानो थियो, र भित्ताका चिन्हहरू सामान्य हुक होलहरू हुन्। टेनेन्सी ऐक्ट अनुसार, सामान्य टुटफुटको लागि भाडावाललाई शुल्क लगाउन मिल्दैन।

That's correct. Normal wear and tear is expected over a three-year tenancy. Do you have the original condition report from when you moved in?

हो, यहाँ छ। यसमा लेखिएको छ कि सर्दा कार्पेटमा पहिलेदेखि केही घिसाव थियो, र भित्तामा अघिल्लो भाडावालका हल्का चिन्हहरू थिए।

Thank you. I'll review both the condition reports. The landlord's agent will now present their evidence. After that, I'll make a decision.

मेरो पक्षमा निर्णय भए, बन्ड कति समयमा फिर्ता हुन्छ?

If I order the bond to be returned, it typically takes ten to fourteen business days to process through the rental bonds authority. The decision is binding on both parties.

धन्यवाद। यो समाधान हुन तीन महिना कुर्नुपर्यो। मलाई बस उचित नतिजा चाहिन्छ।

This hearing concerns your claim for three thousand dollars in unpaid invoices. Please state your case.

म फ्रिल्यान्स ग्राफिक डिजाइनर हुँ। एउटा कम्पनीको काम पूरा गरें तर उनीहरूले अन्तिम इन्भ्वाइस तिर्न अस्वीकार गरे।

Do you have a written contract or agreement for the work?

हो, हस्ताक्षर गरिएको करार, इमेल पत्राचार, र डेलिभरेबलहरू छन्। क्लाइन्टले सबै काम स्वीकृत गरेको थियो।

Has the respondent given any reason for non-payment?

उनीहरूले गुणस्तरमा सन्तुष्ट नभएको भने, तर यो गुनासो इन्भ्वाइसको म्याद बितेपछि मात्र उठाए। र उनीहरूले काम आफ्नो वेबसाइटमा प्रयोग गरे।

That's relevant. If they've used the work, it suggests acceptance. Is the respondent present today?

आएनन्। मैले रजिस्टर्ड मेलबाट ट्रिब्युनल नोटिस पठाएको थिएँ।

I can proceed in their absence. Based on your evidence, the contract and acceptance seem clear.

उनीहरूले खराब भनेको भागको लागि अर्को डिजाइनर भाडामा लिनुपर्यो। त्यो खर्च पनि दाबी गर्न सक्छु?

You can claim reasonable costs directly related to the dispute. I'll consider that in my decision. Do you have receipts?

हो, सबै रसिदहरू यहाँ छन्। मेरो मुद्दा सुनिदिनुभएकोमा धन्यवाद।

Welcome to Legal Aid. I'm a duty lawyer and I can provide free initial advice today. What's your legal issue?

घरधनीले अपार्टमेन्टमा ढुसीको गुनासो गरेकोमा मलाई निकाल्न खोज्दैछन्। मेरा दुई सानो बच्चाहरू छन्।

That sounds like it could be a retaliatory eviction, which is illegal. When did you receive the notice?

गत हप्ता पाएँ। अट्ठाइस दिनभित्र खाली गर्नू भनेको छ। चार वर्षदेखि राम्रो भाडावाल भएको छु।

Did you make your mould complaint in writing? And did the landlord acknowledge it?

हो, मैले रियल इस्टेट एजेन्टलाई दुई पटक इमेल गरें र काउन्सिल हेल्थ इन्स्पेक्टरलाई पनि रिपोर्ट गरें।

Good, that documentation is important. Under the Residential Tenancies Act, a landlord cannot evict a tenant in retaliation for making a complaint.

तर उनीहरूले अर्को कारण बनाउन सक्दैनन्? मलाई डर छ कि अरू केही खोज्लान्।

They need a valid legal reason. With your history of complaints, any eviction attempt would be scrutinised. I can represent you at the tribunal if needed.

खर्च कति हुन्छ? एकल अभिभावक पेन्सनमा छु र वकिल भाडामा लिने सामर्थ्य छैन।

Legal Aid representation is free if you meet the eligibility criteria, which I believe you would. I'll lodge the application today.

धेरै धन्यवाद। यो चिन्ताले निद्रा आउँदैनथ्यो। अर्को भेटमा के ल्याउनुपर्छ?
