The right to receive is a constitutional right of every citizen. It is the responsibility of the government of Nepal
to make arrangements for everyone to enjoy this right provided by the constitution in an equal way, but due
to the lack of provision for voting from outside the country, millions of Nepalis who are abroad during foreign
employment are deprived of constitutional rights such as voting. In various countries of the world, it is
possible to participate in voting from outside the country, so it is possible to do so in Nepal, but because the
opposition did not make the necessary arrangements in this regard, millions of Nepali citizens were deprived
of their basic rights such as voting. He argued that it should be reconciled.
Likewise, the learned Deputy Attorney Mr. Hariprasad Regmi, present on behalf of the opposition, said that
the Government of Nepal is sensitive to the fact that ordinary citizens should be able to easily and simply
enjoy the right to vote provided by the Constitution. In order to make arrangements for voting from that
country, Nepali citizens who are in the destination country for foreign employment must also take into
consideration issues such as election security arrangements, election expenses, election monitoring,
determination of the number of polling stations, election expenses, etc. When all the developed countries
have not been able to make this kind of arrangement, it is not a matter that can be addressed by the nation
of Nepal alone. Based on resources and appropriateness, the government of Nepal is considering making
necessary arrangements so that the voters who are abroad can cast their votes from the same place. He
argued that the writ petition should be dismissed.
It was seen that the following questions have to be decided in the present writ petition in which the above
mentioned facts and arguments are mentioned.
1. What kind of right is the right of a citizen to vote?
