Nepal court halts promotion of tainted general

KATHMANDU: 


Nepal’s top court on Sunday ordered the government to halt the promotion of a tainted general accused of human rights violations by the UN rights watchdog. 


A single bench of Supreme Court issued a stay order on the government decision to promote Maj Gen Toran Jung Bahadur Singh to the post of Chief of the General Staff, the second-in-command of the Nepal Army. The apex court said it will conduct further hearing on January 10.
