The Supreme Court on Wednesday decided not to intervene against a Delhi High Court order refusing to stay the government's dismissal of Satish Chandra Verma, a senior IPS officer who assisted the CBI probe into the Ishrat Jahan "fake" encounter case.
The dismissal order came a month before his scheduled retirement on September 30, 2022.
A Bench led by Justice K.M. Joseph, however, modified the High Court order to facilitate the early disposal of his case.
