Hearing on a writ petition filed at the Supreme Court against the appointment of the new Inspector General (IG) of Nepal Police could not be completed today due to lack of sufficient time. It has hence been postponed for tomorrow.
Joint-spokesperson of the court Devendra Dhakal said that the hearing on the case will continue on Thursday.
Additional Inspector General (AIG) of Nepal Police Bishwaraj Pokharel had filed a writ petition in the apex court on May 2 against the decision of the Council of Ministers to appoint Dhiraj Pratap Singh as the new IG of Nepal Police.
In the petition Pokharel has demanded the government's decision be overturned. A meeting of the Council of Ministers held on May 1 had decided to promote Singh to the post of Inspector General of Nepal Police.
