Thapa has claimed that Aryal, who is junior to her, was promoted to the post of AIG because of his access and influence. The apex court is scheduled to conduct a hearing on the writ petition on Sunday.
A cabinet meeting held on last Thursday had promoted DIG Aryal to the post of AIG. The government had taken the decision as incumbent Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kuber Singh Rana will retire on November 15.
Similarly, AIGs Navaraj Dhakal, Bhishma Prasain, Ganga Pandey, Dinkar Shumsher and Pushkal Regmi will also retire on November 15. Following their retirement, Aryal will be the only one contender to hold the post of IGP.
The Prime Minister´s office, Police Headquarters and the Home Ministry, among others, are named as defendants in the writ petition.
