Kathmandu, Nepal: Challenging to the government’s decision to appoint Prakash Aryal to the post of Inspector General of Police (IGP), Nepal Police Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Nawaraj Silwal has on Tuesday filed another writ petition at the Supreme Court (SC) seeking annulment of the decision.
In the writ, petitioner Silwal has claimed that there have been irregularities while evaluating the work performance of the contenders for the IGP post. The review panel has deducted two-points from his score sheet to promote Aryal to the post of IGP, Silwal has claimed in the writ.
The government has on Monday promoted DIG Aryal to the post of IGP on the basis of the review team headed by Home Secretary Lok Darsan Regmi.
Aryal himself, Nawaraj Silwal, Bam Bahadur Bhandari and Jaya Bahadur Chand were the contenders of the IGP. As per the review team, Aryal had a score of 154, Silwal 152.4, Bhandari 150.2 and Chand had a score of 147 while examining four years’ work efficiency.
