Govt brings records of CVC, VC appointments for SC's perusal

The Centre on Friday brought to the Supreme Court the entire original record to defend the appointment of Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) K V Chaudhary and Vigilance Commissioner (VC) T M Bhasin, which has been challenged.

However, the apex court said "we will see them (records) later."

The bench, comprising Justices Arun Kumar Mishra and Amitava Roy, observed this when Attorney Gerneral Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the Centre, said that the original records have been brought.

The apex court had initially asked the Centre not to appoint the CVC and VC without its prior leave but had later, on May 13, 2015, allowed the government to go ahead with the appointments.
