KATHMANDU, Jan 13: Commissioner of the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) Keshav Baral on Wednesday filed a writ petition at the Supreme Court against the commission itself seeking appointment effective from the day he took oath of office and secrecy.

Commissioner Baral's tenure is expiring within a week. Baral has filed his writ petition against the Office of the Constitutional Council, Council Secretary, CIAA and Commission Secretary.

On January 10, 2010, Baral had been appointed as a commissioner at the CIAA. His appointment had been on hold with all the posts of the commissioners including that of Chief Commissioner lying vacant. Baral took charge as a commissioner only after Lokman Singh Karki was appointed as the Chief Commissioner on May 8, 2013.
