October 24, 2018
The Supreme Court Wednesday agreed to hear on October 26 the plea of CBI
Director Alok Kumar Verma challenging the Centre's decision sending him
on leave.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan
Gogoi and Justices SK Kaul and KM Joseph considered the submission of
Verma that his plea against the Centre's decision to send him on leave
required urgent hearing.
The CBI chief has also challenged
the decision to appoint Joint Director M Nageshwar Rao as head of the
probe agency. The Centre had yesterday taken note of the internal
feud in the CBI and passed an order sending the CBI chief and Special
Director Rakesh Asthana on leave. -- PTI
