The Supreme Court scrapped the writ petition filed against the appointment of Inspector General of Nepal Police. 

A joint bench of acting Chief Justice Deepak Kumar Karki and Justice Kumar Chudal on Friday quashed the writ petition filed by AIG Bishwa Raj Pokharel, giving validation to the appointment of Dhiraj Pratap Singh. 

Earlier on May 2, Pokharel had filed the petition arguing that the government appointed Singh as the IG of Nepal Police flouting the seniority basis. 

With the annulment of the writ, the deck has been cleared for Singh to complete his term.

Similarly, the apex court also quashed the writ petition filed by Ishwor Babu Karki, Ghanshyam Aryal and Praksh Jung Karki. 

The trio had filed the petition on March 31 expressing dissatisfaction over the appointment of AIG.
