Congress Leader In The Lok Sabha Highlights The ‘brazen And Illegal Actions’.
Leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, a member of the Selection Committee for the CBI Director, moved a petition before the Supreme Court on Saturday saying the decision to divest CBI Director Alok Verma “of his statutory powers is completely illegal, arbitrary, punitive and without jurisdiction.”
Mr. Kharge sought the quashing or setting aside of the October 23 orders of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) and the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).
The Supreme Court is already hearing a petition by Mr. Verma, challenging the government ’s decision to send him on forced leave. The next hearing on the petition is on November 12.
