The Supreme Court on Friday ordered CVC to complete probe against CBI director Alok Verma in 14 days. Until then, CJI Ranjan Gogoi said, M Nageswara Rao as interim CBI director should perform only routine tasks and not make any major policy decisions.
All decisions taken by M Nageswara Rao from October 23 will have to be submitted in a sealed cover to the SC, ruled the bench led by CJI Ranjan Gogoi.
The top court was hearing the plea filed by CBI director Alok Verma seeking a stay on the decision of the Centre to divest him of his duties.
He has also sought a stay of the Centre’s order asking him to proceed on leave and the appointment of M Nageswara Rao, a 1986 batch Odisha-cadre IPS officer, as interim CBI director.
