Haveliwala, presently out on bail, was permitted to travel to the US and Dubai from May 16 to June 10 by the special NDPS court which is conducting trial against her.
The government filed a petition in the High Court today seeking quashing of the lower court's order.
"There is likelihood of Nooriya absconding and fleeing away from the clutches of law and not returning to face trial. There is no extradition treaty between the US and India," the petition states.
It further claims that the NDPS court had passed the order on May 8 without giving notice to the prosecution or calling for a reply from the investigating agency, as well as the Foreign Regional Registration Office (FRRO).
According to the government's petition, the FRRO and Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Branch, in October last year after Nooriya was granted bail by the lower court, issued a six-point restriction prohibiting the accused, who is a US national, from leaving the city. The restriction was issued on the apprehension that she may evade trial.
Nooriya has challenged the FRRO's restriction in the High Court and it is still pending. The trial against Nooriya has already begun and nine witnesses out of 35 have been examined so far.

Justice A M Thipsay has kept the petition for hearing tomorrow.
On January 30, 2010, Nooriya rammed her SUV into a police check-point at Marine Lines in south Mumbai, killing a traffic policeman and a motorcyclist. She later tested positive for alcohol and drugs.
Nooriya has been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder and also booked under various sections of the Motor Vehicles Act and the NDPS Act.
