The writ of the newly appointed Executive Director of Nepal Electricity Authority Hitendradev Shakya has been registered in the Supreme Court. Shakya reached the Supreme Court on Wednesday seeking to settle his 3-and-a-half-year-old case and seeking service facilities for that period.
On Thursday, the Supreme Administration gave an opportunity to correct the writ by saying that it did not meet the requirements. After Shakya corrected it, it was registered on Thursday itself. In his writ, payment has been fixed on 15th of Chait.
Shakya has submitted an 11-page 11-point writ and has mentioned that he has been deprived of the financial benefits received for working while in office. "It is indisputable that I have not resigned from the post of Executive Director of Nepal Electricity Authority and that my position will remain intact throughout the period of my removal and I will get the financial benefits including salary allowance for that period," the writ said.
Shakya has also requested an interim order stating that his old case has not been resolved and that he should not take any action affecting his current appointment.
After Kulman Ghising was fired and Shakya was appointed as the Executive Director of the Authority, the controversy reached its peak.
Ghising has also filed a writ in the Supreme Court claiming that his dismissal was illegal. Soon after, Shakya also came with a writ demanding that his old case be settled .
Shakya had filed a writ in 2077 with the demand that the decision to transfer him from the Executive Director of the Authority to the Energy Commission was wrong and that he should be provided with the services he was missing. The payment of the said writ is fixed for June 10, 2082 .
