Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday termed the Supreme Court order on the CBI row as an "extremely positive development", noting that the apex court has further strengthened the fairness criteria by asking for completion of investigation within two weeks.
The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) to complete within two weeks it's inquiry into allegations against CBI Director Alok Verma. The apex court has also barred interim CBI Director M Nageswara Rao from taking any major policy decision.
"The Supreme Court has further strengthened the fairness criteria. They have appointed a retired judge for the probe and given a time limit to ensure that the truth comes out. The truth coming out is in larger interest of the country. The Government considers it as an extremely positive development," Jaitley said.
The Government had on Wednesday divested CBI Director Alok Verma of his charge and appointed M Nageswara Rao as an interim chief.
