CBI vs CBI: Supreme Court to hear Alok Verma's plea against govt order today; Rahul Gandhi to lead Congress' protests across country

All eyes will be on the Supreme Court on Friday as it is slated to hear a plea filed by CBI Director Alok Verma against his 'unceremonious' removal. Verma has also sought stay of the Centre's order asking him to proceed on leave and giving the interim charge of his post to Joint Director M Nageswara Rao, a 1986 batch Odisha-cadre IPS officer. Verma's petition is listed for hearing before a bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph. His petition will come for hearing along with another plea filed on Thursday by an NGO, 'Common Cause', which has sought SIT probe into the allegations of corruption against CBI officials including special director Rakesh Asthana.
