Justice A K Patnaik, the former SC judge who was appointed to monitor the CVC probe against Alok Verma, has spoken out against the decision of the High Powered Committee to remove him as CBI Director. On Thursday, the Committee under Section 4 of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, consisting of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, SC judge Justice A K Sikri and Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge had decided to transfer him to the post of Director General Fire Services, for his residual term which will end on January 31.The decision was taken with the concurrence of PM Modi and Justice Sikiri, amidst dissent of Kharge Notably, no reasons were stated in the order transferring Verma from the post of CBI Director and no hearing was given to him. Responding to the development, Justice Patnaik, who was appointed by the CJI-led bench on October 25 to supervise the CVC probe against Verma, said "Even if the Supreme Court said that the high-power committee must decide, the decision was very, very hasty. The Court reasoned that the action by Centre against Verma amounted to "transfer", which required prior consent of the High Powered Committee under Section 4 of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act.
