order. Likewise, in the petition having including Bhola Nagarkoti versus the Government of Nepal (Writ No. 2069-WO-0880) also, it is seen to have been ordered by this Court to provide citizenship by mother’s name. It has been mentioned above regarding the decision made on the writ petition of Ranjita Thapa. Thus, it is also seen that the matter that citizenship can be obtained through the name of Nepalese citizen mother has been established by this Court before this. Upon the demand of the petitioner that citizenship should be granted by mother’s name, the matter of where the father has gone or what has happened is not seen relevant. Despite having the provision that citizenship can be obtained by mother’s name, to deprive the petitioner of obtaining the citizenship or to tell her to go to inconvenient district is considered to be an act done against the law. The official bestowed with legal authority shall have to fulfill his/her legal duty. Not to do so appears to be against not just the equality but equity, too. It is necessary to look into this issue upon being sensitive by the opponent Office itself since the petitioner has said that application was furnished to the District Administration Office, Kathmandu. have been born in Nepal from the Nepalese citizen, Kabita Thapa; hence, it is decided that mandamus order shall be issued on the name of the opponent, Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Ward No. 5, Ward Committee stating not to refuse to provide recommendation for the sake of citizenship if the petitioner submits mother’s citizenship and if she submits evidence to ensure birth, and on the name of District Administration Office, Kathmandu not to refuse to provide citizenship by mother’s name if the recommendation and the replica copy of the citizenship of the mother’s name is submitted. As per the decision made by this Court on the aforementioned writ petition of Sabina Damai on the issue that citizenship can be obtained by mother’s name, it is exposed that circulation has been made to all the District Administration Offices; hence, it appears that re-order is not supposed to be issued on all the District Administration Offices. Provide the information of the order to the opponents, and submit the document file to the record section, by striking off the record of the case file. Justice I agree with the said opinion. 21. Hence, from the aforementioned ground and reason, in the present petition, the matter that Kabita Thapa, the mother of Kriti Thapa, is a Nepalese citizen also has been justified, and the petitioner, Kriti Thapa, is seen to Justice Bench Officer: Manu Kumari G.M.
