 Justice N.V. Ramana had recused himself from hearing a plea challenging the Centre’s decision to appoint M. Nageswara Rao as interim CBI director.

Justice Ramana became the third judge of the Supreme Court to recuse himself from hearing the matter after CJI Ranjan Gogoi and Justice A.K. Sikri earlier recused themselves from adjudicating the case.

The petition is filed by NGO Common Cause and RTI activist Anjali Bhardwaj.

While recusing himself from hearing the matter, Justice Ramana said Rao is from his home state and he had attended the wedding ceremony of his daughter.

Justice Ramana has now referred the matter to the CJI to list it before an appropriate bench.
