relativity of Article 11 (4) of the Constitution of Nepal, it is seen that in connection to the person who is found in Nepal, whose father and mother’s address is not traced, there is the provision that he/she can obtain citizenship by descent; whereas, in Article 15 (5) of the Constitution of Nepal, the person who was born to a Nepalese citizen mother who has permanent domicile in Nepal and whose father cannot be identified, can obtain citizenship by descent. Here, there is not the condition that the petitioner’s father or mother has not been traced or father has not been identified. The petitioners have clearly mentioned the name and address of their father or husband. Their statement is that after the father, Bishwa Nath Thapa went to work in the garment industry, he did not return, but has become disappeared and is without contact. From affidavits, it is not seen that this is wrong. The crux of the matter is that, when there is the provision in the Constitution and in Act to obtain citizenship through the name of any one between “father” or “mother”, application can be furnished, attaching mother’s citizenship if the father is disappeared.

In addition to this, provision has been made in Sub-article (1) of Article 38, stating that every woman shall have equal lineage right without discrimination. Successor of lineage and equal right of identity based on this also shall also fall within the lineage right. Here seems no base and reason that the petitioners shall not obtain the rights conferred by the Constitution of Nepal. 19. The matter that Kabita Thapa, of the petitioners, is a citizen of Nepal is being justified by her citizenship certificate of Nepal; however, because of the citizenship certificate of Nepal not issued to her daughter, Kriti Thapa, by mother’s name, it is seen that condition has stood here of affecting the fundamental rights of both of them. It is not seen that the opponent District Administration Office has not viewed towards the matter that such act of discrimination meted out to the women based on gender kidnaps the right to equality of the women. 16. From the replica copy document of S.L.C. certificate, it is seen that the petitioner, Kriti Thapa, was born on date 2052/11/26 (March 9, 1996 A.D.). It is also seen that she is over 16 years of age. Is seems that there is not dispute on the matter that the petitioner’s mother, Kabita Thapa, was born on date 2037/3/30 (July 13, 1980 A.D.) in Kathmandu district, K.M.C., Ward No. 5 and citizenship certificate of C. C.
