circulation has also been received, that circulation
was made by the Ministry of Home Affairs for all the
District Administration Office through the letter of
the date of 2068/5/5 (August 22, 2011 A.D); hence,
condition does not exist to issue order in the context
of the same issue by the esteemed Court; hence,
the writ petition should be revoked. Affidavit of
the Office of the Prime Minister and the Council of
Ministers reads as above.
In connection to the opponent belonging to this
district, requesting the description that citizenship
certificate is being provided if, by filling up the
form of Schedule-1 determined by law for the
sake of obtaining Nepalese citizenship certificate,
this form is submitted along with the documents
including the recommendation of the local body,
replica copy of the citizenship certificate of the
parents, copy of the elder brother or the relative
within the three generations exposing lineage if that
is not available, and replica copy of the relationship
certificate, identification done by the parents or the
persons tallied by the citizenship, identification
of brothers or nearest guardian within three
generations if that is not available, other evidence
exposing lineage if the aforementioned certificates
cannot be submitted, educational certificate or birth
registration certificate or minor certificate; the writ
petition filed by making this Office an opponent,
mentioning false description, as per mentioned by
the writ petitioner in the writ petition, that reply
has been given saying that citizenship could not be
provided to the son without father and that descent
meant father, should be revoked. Affidavit of District
Administration Office reads as above.
The petition pleading of the opponent has been
just that citizenship was not provided by mother’s
name by the body concerned as per Interim
Constitution of Nepal, 2063 and other law, and this
Ministry has no involvement in the act of providing
citizenship; hence, the writ petition which has been
filed by making this Ministry, an irrelevant body, is
meaningless, hence should be revoked. Affidavit of
Law and Justice Ministry reads as above.
The opponent writ petitioner has mentioned in
the petition furnished for the sake of citizenship to
District Administration Office to obtain citizenship
certificate that father’s identity has not been
exposed; hence, citizenship certificate has not been
provided. The petition pleading that husband’s
name, surname, address is not known even up to
4 years of getting married is blurred in itself. From
this, it is clear that the petition has come to the Court
without clean intention. Moreover, writ petition
cannot be filed making this Ministry an opponent
even upon the acts, actions and decisions made by
the other bodies and lien on posts authorized to
perform act as per prevailing law. For the sake of
implementation of the order made by the esteemed
Court on the case of Sabina Damai, circulation was
made for all the District Administration Offices
through the letters of the date of 2068/5/5 (August
22, 2011 A.D) and the date of 2069/10/7 (January 20,
2013 A.D.); hence, condition does not exist to issue
re-order on the same issue; hence, writ petition
should be revoked. Affidavit of the Ministry of Home
Affairs reads as above.
In the present writ petition submitted upon being
inducted to the cause list as per rule, learned
advocate Ms. Meera Dhungana, present on
behalf of the petitioner, pleaded that upon having
relationship with the person, whose name, surname,
address not known, the petitioner, Kiran Khadgi,
was born on date 2051/12/30 (April 13, 1995 A.D.),
and condition was that they were living at parental
and maternal uncle’s home. As Kiran Khadgi, of
the petitioners, completed the age for the sake of
obtaining citizenship, when they went to District
Administration Office to furnish application, upon
filling up Schedule form for the sake of citizenship
certificate attaching with it the recommendation
of Ward Office, birth registration certificate, they
were refused to be provided with citizenship by
descent by mother’s name, giving oral reply by
saying that citizenship could not be provided to the
son without father and that descent meant father;
hence, his right conferred by the Constitution and
law to obtain citizenship by mother’s name had
been breached and condition was created for them
to become without citizenship; hence, mandamus
should be issued on the names of the opponents
to provide Nepalese citizenship certificate by
decent to the petitioner, Kiran Khadgi, by mother’s
name, and learned joint attorney, Mr. Kiran Paudel,
present on behalf of the opponents, pleaded that
there was no obstruction to obtain citizenship if
the petitioners furnished application attaching to it
the evidence document determined by the law for
the sake of obtaining citizenship certificate. There
The opponent writ petitioner is not found to have
been able to expose any reason and ground to make
this Ministry an opponent; hence, in connection
to this Ministry, the writ petition of the opponent
is revocable in prima facie. The opponent has not
been able to mention anywhere in her writ petition,
stating that this Ministry has this, this kind of
legal duty and liability, but has not fulfilled that
duty and liability or has refused to fulfill. On the
ground including the precedent propounded by
esteemed Court stating that mandamus shall not be
issued so far as the duty and liability has not been
burdened by law, writ petition should be revoked.
Affidavit of the Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local
Development reads as above.
