The Supreme Court on Thursday severely reprimanded former CBI interim director M Nageshwar Rao and asked him to appear before it in connection with the transfer of former Joint Director A K Sharma, who was probing the Muzaffarpur shelter home abuse case. Apart from Rao, the top court also sought the appearance of all other CBI officers who were involved in the transfer process of Sharma on February 12. You have played with the order of the Supreme Court of India. Never play with the SC’s order,” CJI Gogoi said after the CBI counsel informed that two officials including Rao were involved in transferring Sharma. AdvertisingThe Supreme Court pointed out that its earlier order had said officials associated with the probe should not be transferred without leave of court.
