New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Centre that the dismissal order of Gujarat cadre IPS officer Satish Chandra Verma, a senior IPS officer who had assisted the CBI in its probe into the alleged fake encounter case of Ishrat Jahan in Gujarat, will not be effected for one week.
A bench of Justices KM Joseph and Hrishikesh Roy asked Delhi High Court to decide if the stay is to be extended beyond a week or not. Supreme Court further said that it is for Verma to take appropriate steps for amending the petition pending before the Delhi High Court to challenge the order of his dismissal.
1986-batch Gujarat cadre IPS Verma was dismissed from the service on August 30, a month before his scheduled retirement on September 30.
