KATHMANDU: Supreme Court (SC) is hearing the writ petition against the government’s decision to promote AIG Dheeraj Pratap Singh to the post of Inspector General of Nepal Police today.

Acting Chief Justice Deepak Kumar Karki and Justice Kumar Chudal are scheduled to hear the writ.

The court had refused to issue an interim order on the writ on May 5.

After a two-day debate, a single bench of Justice Sushmalata Mathema had ordered to conduct a full hearing from May 31. But the hearing was postponed.

AIG Bishwaraj Pokharel had moved the Supreme Court seeking revocation of the government’s decision to appoint Dhiraj Pratap Singh.

The issue has been dragged into controversy since the cabinet meeting decided to promote AIG Singh as the head of Nepal Police, junior to Pokharel.
