KATHMANDU, May 5: Hearing on a writ petition filed at the Supreme Court against the appointment of the new Inspector General (IG) of Nepal Police is set to continue today as the hearing could not be completed on Wednesday. 

Joint-spokesperson at the Supreme 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 at the apex court on May 2 against the decision of the government to appoint Dhiraj Pratap Singh as the new chief of Nepal Police.

In the petition, Pokharel has demanded the government’s decision to promote his junior colleague and appointed him instead to the position. A cabinet meeting held on May 1 had decided to promote Singh to the post of Inspector General of Nepal Police.
