Kathmandu. Outgoing Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dan Bahadur Karki has knocked on the doors of the Supreme Court for justice, saying that he was unjustly removed from the post of Inspector General of Police (IGP). He has approached the Supreme Court with a writ petition seeking a legal remedy against the decision of his dismissal.

Karki’s lawyers have filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court a while ago. However, it will be decided whether the writ will be registered or not only after the administrative process of the court is completed.

The government on Wednesday decided to sack Karki from the post of IGP and appointed Additional Inspector General of Police (AIG) Manoj KC in his place.

The government also decided to create a new post of Special Security Advisor at the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers.

However, Karki has entered into a legal battle expressing dissatisfaction with the government’s decision to remove him from the post. Now whether the Supreme Court will file his writ or not is being watched with interest.
