March 24: A writ petition has been filed at the Supreme Court seeking entry for Nepali nationals living abroad into Nepal.

A writ petition has been filed at the Supreme Court demanding that the Nepali nationals living in foreign countries be allowed to enter Nepal.

According to the national news agency, RSS, advocates Madhav Basnet and Meera Khadka Basnet filed the petition against the High-Level Committee to Control and Prevent Coronavirus and other government bodies arguing that the government’s decision to impose travel restriction on Nepali nationals is unlawful.

In the writ petition, the advocates have asked court to direct the government to rescue its nationals stranded in foreign countries if they are not able to return home during the crisis created by coronavirus.

In a bid to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19, the government had last week banned flights from dozens of countries affected by coronavirus.  Those countries include all members of the European Union, Iran, Turkey, Malaysia, Japan among others. The government had even banned passengers using those countries as transit. The government has banned all flights to and from the Tribhuvan International Airport since Sunday.
