Supreme Court: After CJI Ranjan Gogoi recused himself from hearing a plea challenging the Centre’s decision to appoint M Nageswara Rao as interim CBI director on January 21, now Justice Dr. AK Sikri has recused himself from the matter.
Justice Sikri, who was part of the high powered panel which had removed CBI Director Alok Verma, told senior advocate Dushyant Dave, appearing for petitioner NGO Common Cause:
“You understand my position. I can’t hear this matter.”
The matter will now be taken up tomorrow i.e. on 25.01.2019 by a new bench.
