According to the writ petitioner, advocate Om Prakash Aryal, the SC administration on Monday fixed January 29 as the date for the final hearings on the petition.[break]
This is the eighth time the apex court has set date for hearings on the writ petition filed against Karki´s appointment as CIAA chief.
Aryal filed first writ petition before appointment of Karki while he had filed a supplementary writ petition after Karki was appointed to the post.
The writ petitioner has urged the SC to scrap the Constitutional Council´s (CC) decision to appoint Karki and relieve him from the post of the CIAA chief commissioner.
Aryal has also asked the apex court to stop Karki from working in the capacity of the CIAA chief until it passes final verdict on the issue stating that his appointment is ´unconstitutional´ and even against an earlier order of the SC.
Aryal has argued that Karki is not fit for the post stating that he lacks the required experience of 20 years in the civil service.
He has maintained that the CC move is also against the 11-point political agreement which states that the Interim Election Council, which has been formed only to hold fresh polls, will not take any decision that will have long-term impact.
The writ petitioner has urged the SC to issue an order that no individual who has been found involved in suppressing popular movement or violating human rights will be eligible to hold a public post in future.
The president´s office, Chairman of the Interim Election Council Khil Raj Regmi, the CC, the CIAA and Karki himself have been named as defendants in the writ petition.
