The Centre will move Supreme Court against the Gauhati High Court order holding as unconstitutional the setting up of Central Bureau Investigation (CBI).
"Gauhati High Court says about the constitution of the CBI. I have not read the whole judgment. I will meet the PM immediately. From the Government side; we have to go to the Supreme Court and challenge the order," Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel and PMO V. Narayanasamy told media here.
In its judgment, the High Court has struck down the resolution through which the CBI was set up and held all its actions as unconstitutional.
A division bench comprising Justice Iqbal Ahamad Ansari and Indira Shah on Wednesday pronounced the verdict while hearing a plea filed by a BSNL employee.
The petitioner questioned the existence of the CBI after the investigation agency filed a case against him in 2001. He approached the division bench after a Single Bench of the court rejected his plea.
