A bench comprising Justices L Nageswara Rao and BR Gavai asked Attorney General KK Venugopal to address the court on the submission made by NGO Common Cause.
Observing that it cannot pass a blanket order on appointment of CBI director, the Supreme Court on Wednesday asked the Centre to respond to the submission of an NGO that there should not be an ad-hoc arrangement and the existing chief should be allowed to continue till a successor is appointed after his tenure.
A bench comprising Justices L Nageswara Rao and BR Gavai asked Attorney General KK Venugopal to address the court on the submission made by NGO Common Cause.
The top court was hearing the NGO which had filed the plea concerning the appointment of the regular CBI director before the appointment of the present chief.
At the outset, the bench said the matter has become infructuous as the appointment has already been made.
