In a hearing on Thursday morning, Baral defended a complaint filed against him and presented his plans for the commission.
The Constitutional Council headed by Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal had recommended Baral, a former Additional Inspector General of Nepal Police, for the post on January 4.
Baral retired from Nepal Police in September, 2010 after serving for thirty years.
