New Delhi, March 02: The Supreme Court will Thursday pronounce its verdict on a petition challenging the appointment of P.J. Thomas as the head of the country’s anti-corruption watchdog Central Vigilance Commission.
An apex court bench of Chief Justice S.H. Kapadia, Justice K.S. Panicker Radhakrishnan and Justice Swatanter Kumar will pronounce its verdict on a petition by the Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL) challenging Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) Thomas’ appointment.
The petitioner said Thomas was facing a criminal charge sheet in a case related to palm oil import in Kerala and he was not an “outstanding civil servant of impeccable integrity”.
