Retired SC Judge, Justice AK Patnaik, who was supervising the CVC probe against former CBI Chief Alok Verma, called the decision of the High Powered Committee led by PM Modi to remove Verma, “very, very hasty”.
“Even if the Supreme Court said that the High Powered Committee must decide, the decision was very, very hasty. We are dealing with an institution here. They should have applied their mind thoroughly, especially as a Supreme Court judge was there. What the CVC says cannot be the final word.”Justice A K Patnaik to The Indian Express
