Today's Video Focus: Taking up Central Bureau of Investigation chief Alok Verma's case
against the government for divesting him of his powers and sending him
on forced leave, the Supreme Court today said a vigilance inquiry
against him would be time-bound and monitored by an ex-judge. The
supervision is a "one-time exception felt necessary in the peculiar
facts of the case and should not be understood to be casting any
reflection on any authority of the government," the court said. M
Nageswar Rao, who was asked to stand in as interim CBI chief, cannot
take any policy decision, said the judges. A three-judge bench headed by
Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi did not give any ruling on Mr
Verma's deputy Rakesh Asthana, who has also challenged his forced leave.
