The Supreme Court on Thursday put off the final hearing on the writ petition filed by DIG Nawaraj Silwal, challenging the appointment of Prakash Aryal as the Nepal Police Chief for the second time.
Earlier, the final hearing on the case was scheduled for May 2 but it was deferred after the lawmakers from ruling Nepali Congress and CPN (Maoist Centre) registered an impeachment motion against Chief Justice Sushila Karki.
It has been learnt that the SC would conduct the hearing after the local level elections slated for May 14.
The government had picked Aryal as the chief of Nepal Police Chief on April 10 from among four contenders—Aryal himself, Nawaraj Silwal, Bam Bahadur Bhandari and Jaya Bahadur Chand—after reviewing the marks the four top officials had accumulated in the last four years based on their performance, qualification, seniority and prize, among others.
