CVC loses job, UPA face

Rejecting every argument trotted out by the government defending the appointment of Central Vigilance Commissioner P J Thomas — who’s facing a corruption case — the Supreme Court today quashed the appointment.

“It is declared that the recommendation dated September 3, 2010, of the High Powered Committee of P J Thomas as Central Vigilance Commissioner is non-est (non-existent) in law and, consequently, the appointment is quashed,” the Supreme Court pronounced.
