The hearing on IGP appointment dispute has been postponed by the supreme court today.

The case against Inspector General of Police (IGP) promotion was scheduled to be heard in a joint sitting of Justices Bishwabhar Prasad Shrestha and Dr. Kumar Chudal in the Supreme Court today. Though a hearing has been scheduled, the Supreme Court has adjourned the hearing in the case of three DIGs Ishwar Babu Karki, Ghanshyam Aryal and Prakash Jung Karki saying that the time limit has not been met.

DIG Bishwaraj Pokharel had filed the writ petition after the government decided to appoint Dhiraj Pratap Singh as IGP. In the writ petition, Pokhrel has demanded to be IGP. AIG Pokharel had filed a writ petition at the apex court alleging that the government had promoted IG by violating seniority .
