High-spin states in ${}^{162}\mathrm{Ho}$ have been populated in the reaction ${}^{160}\mathrm{Gd}$(${}^7\mathrm{Li}$, 5n) at a beam energy of 49 MeV. The K ${}^{\pi }=1^{-}$ band, the low-K Gallagher-Moszkowski (GM) partner band of known high-K(K ${}^{\pi }=6^{-}$) band, based on the configuration $\pi 7/2^{-}[523]\otimes \nu 5/2^{+}[642]$, and the K ${}^{\pi }=6^{+}$ band, the high-K GM partner band of known low-K($K^{\pi }=1^{+}$) band, based on the configuration $\pi 7/2^{-}[523]\otimes \nu 5/2^{-}[523]$, have been identified. GM splitting energies, defined as $\Delta E_{\mathrm{GM}}=E_{\mathrm{int}}^{K_{\langle }}-E_{\mathrm{int}}^{K_{\rangle }}$, 80 keV and −135 keV were extracted from these two sets of GM doublet bands, respectively. They are comparable with 65 keV and −145 keV, reported recently by Hojman et al. for the corresponding configurations $\pi 7/2^{-}[523]\otimes \nu 5/2^{+}[642]$ and $\pi 7/2^{-}[523]\otimes \nu 5/2^{-}[523]$ in ${}^{164}\mathrm{Ho}$, respectively.
