CBI Special Director Rakesh Asthana moves the Supreme Court against the Centre's leave order.


The Supreme Court will begin hearing the petition filed by Central Bureau of Investigation director Alok Kumar Verma challenging the decision of the Centre to divest him of his duties and sending him on leave at 11:30 am.


He has also sought stay of the Centre's order asking him to proceed on leave and giving the interim charge of his post to Joint Director M Nageswara Rao, a 1986 batch Odisha-cadre IPS officer.


Verma's petition is listed for hearing before a bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph. Justice Fali Nariman will be representing Verma.
