Senior advocate Surendra Bhandari and advocate Bal Krishna Neupane have moved the Supreme Court against the authentication of the Citizenship Bill. The advocate duo filed separate writs at the apex court. It has been said that the writs are in the process of registration.

President Ram Chandra Paudel on Wednesday authenticated the controversial Citizenship Bill.

Earlier on August 15, President Bidya Devi Bhandari had returned the Bill to the Parliament for a review. The incumbent government, however, had urged President Paudel to authenticate the Bill. A Cabinet meeting held on May 26 had decided to urge the President to certify the Citizenship Bill endorsed by both the Houses.
