CBI vs CBI: SC asks Centre to give in sealed cover the decisions by director Rao

Alok Verma had moved to the apex court challenging the Centre's decision and suggesting that the government may not be in agreement with the course of CBI probe into cases relating to some "high functionaries". In his petition, he contended that the action against him was "patently illegal and unconstitutional" and sought quashing of the order. "Over the recent past, although all functionaries within the CBI from the investigating officer and the superintending officers up to the Joint Director and the Director have agreed on a certain course of action, the Special Director has been of a different view," the plea said.
