Kathmandu, September 25 The Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court today issued a writ, scrapping the provision in the regulations of Tribhuvan University that barred its pension-holders from receiving pension if they acquired permanent residency in a foreign country or acquired citizenship of a foreign country. The SC decision came in response to a writ petition filed by Prof Satyendra Gupta, who retired after serving at TU Teaching Hospital for 29 years in 2006. Gupta had acquired permanent residency of Australia after he retired from his service.

Although he had been receiving pensions previously, his pension payment was halted after the amendment in TU regulations came into force. TU had amended its regulations in January 2017 to include the aforementioned provision in line with the law that bars civil servants from acquiring permanent residency or citizenship in foreign countries. In the writ, the plaintiff had demanded scrapping of the provision in TU regulations, claiming that it was against the constitution that gave financial and cultural rights to Nepali citizens acquiring PR or citizenship of foreign countries, according to Gupta lawyer Vinit Kumar Jha.
