Kathmandu, Sept 24: Finally, the government has submitted the original documents relating the appointment of Chief of the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA), Lokman Singh Karki to the Supreme Court on Friday.
The apex court received the original documents relating to the CIAA Chief’s appointment from the Office of the Council of Ministers, SC Co-Spokesperson Bishwaraj Poudel said.
Earlier, the Office of the Council of Ministers, in a response to the SC call for the same, had replied that it was unable to furnish the original documents as they were lost during last year’s earthquake. The SC was unconvinced by the government reply and termed it ‘irresponsible’, ordering the government again to produce the original documents within a week.
Advocate Om Prakash Aryal on May 12, 2013 had filed a writ petition, challenging Karki’s appointment as the CIAA Chief. The court later on September 24, 2014 quashed the petition, prompting Aryal to file for a review on his petition. Acting upon the same review appeal, the SC demanded original documents about Karki’s appointment from the government. RSS
