CBI vs CBI LIVE Updates: Alok Verma's leave order 'invalid', argues his lawyerThe hearing on CBI director Alok Verma's plea challenging the government's order divesting him of his duties and sending him on leave in view of graft allegations against him is currently underway in the Supreme Court. A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi is likely to consider the response of Verma given in a sealed cover on the findings of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) in the preliminary inquiry against him.    The bench is also likely to consider the report of acting CBI Director M Nageswara Rao also filed in a sealed cover in the court with regard to the decisions taken by him from October 23-26.    Besides the plea filed by Verma, the court is also likely to hear the PIL filed by NGO Common Cause, which has sought a probe by a special investigation team against CBI officers. HERE ARE THE LIVE UPDATES: 13:10 pm: The Supreme Court will continue the hearing after lunch break.
