Kathmandu, May 18
The Supreme Court is set to conduct the final hearing in the Nepal Police IGP appointment controversy.
According to the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Sushila Karki has named seven justices: Devendra Gopal Shrestha, Cholendra SJB Rana, Jagdish Sharma Paudel, Deepak Kumar Karki, Kedar Prasad Chalise and Sapna Pradhan Malla to hear the case today.
The bench will hear Silwal’s petition that he be appointed Nepal Police chief, as well as a writ filed by erstwhile DIG Prakash Aryal with a contesting claim.
The final hearing of the case was slated for May 2, but was put off after the ruling coalition filed a motion to impeach Chief Justice Sushila Karki in Parliament.
