Written clarification sought over appointment of CEO at Tourism Board
The Supreme Court has issued a show cause order demanding written clarification from the defendants over the writ petition filed against the appointment of Deepak Raj Joshi as Chief Executive Officer of the Nepal Tourism Board.
A single bench of Justice Kumar Chundal today issued the order to the government to submit written clarification within 15 days.
Dhananjaya Regmi, another competitor for the same post, on Tuesday filed a writ petition seeking an order asking the government not to implement the decision to appoint Joshi.
In the petition, Regmi argued that Joshi was appointed against the rules using discretionary powers rather than being based on the outcome of the examinations taken for the same and appointed him to the post scrapping the board decision.
The meeting of the NTB Board of Directors on Thursday had decided to appoint Joshi as the CEO. Joshi has already assumed his post.
