Supreme Court on Plea seeking appointment of regular Director has issued notice to the Centre.
Supreme Court bench of justices L Nageswara Rao and S Ravindra Bhat sought the Centre’s views on the plea by NGO Common Cause, which contended that the government had failed to appoint a regular CBI Director as per section 4A of the Act, upon the expiry of term of the last Director, Rishi Kumar Shukla, on February 2 and had instead appointed Praveen Sinha, as interim Director.
Supreme Court directed to the central government to respond in the current plea and mentioned the provisions of the Delhi Special Police Establishment (DSPE) Act.
Advocate Prashant Bhushan appearing for NGO, submitted to the court that the lack of a regular CBI Director is affecting the work of the premier investigating agency.
