Supreme Court Justice AK Sikri has withdrawn himself from hearing a petition against the appointment of M Nageswara Rao as interim chief of the CBI. In the last hearing, Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi had withdrawn from the case because he was a member of the high-powered selection committee that will pick a name to head the Central Bureau of Investigation. But the Chief Justice also dropped out of the high-powered selection panel, and Justice Sikri was brought in.
