The Citizenship Bill, which was passed by the House of Representatives and the National Assembly and submitted to the President for verification by Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota, has been sent back to the Parliament.
President Bidya Devi Bhandari has said that the Citizenship Bill needs to be reconsidered, and the question has been raised as to what will happen to the Citizenship Bill, which has been sent back to Parliament. However, according to the legal provisions specified in the Constitution of Nepal, if any bill other than the Finance Bill submitted to the President for verification needs to be reconsidered, the President can send the bill back to the Parliament in accordance with Article 113, Clause 3 of the Constitution.

Now, regarding the bill sent back by the President, it has been explained in Article 113 of the Constitution of Nepal, Clause 4: “If the President returns a bill with a message, both Houses will reconsider such a bill and pass it as presented or resubmitted with amendments, the President shall certify it within fifteen days of its submission.”
Now, based on this provision of the constitution, the House of Representatives and the National Assembly can again submit the bill with the old format or amendments to the President for verification. It has been explained that the bill coming for re-verification will be verified by the President within 15 days.But the president is not given the legal right to return the bill that came for re-certification.
