A writ petition filed in the Supreme Court against the decision to promote three Deputy Inspector Generals (DIGs) of Nepal Police to the post of Additional Inspector General (AIG) has been kept out of the hearing list .

Though a hearing has been scheduled for today in the single sitting of Judge Kumar Regmi, it has been placed out of the hearing list.

According to Supreme Court Spokesperson Vimal Poudel, Judge Regmi was not allowed to look into the matter, but he was present at the hearing. Therefore, no hearing could be held even today.

DIG Ishwar Babu Karki, Ghanshyam Aryal and Prakash Jung Karki had filed a writ petition against the promotion of AIG.

The cabinet meeting had decided to promote DIG Dhiraj Pratap Singh, Vasant Pant and Rabindra Bahadur Dhanuk to AIG.
