The bench is also expected to mull over the report of acting CBI director M Nageswara Rao also filed in a sealed cover in the top court with respect to the decisions taken by him from October 23-26.

Apart from this the plea filed by Verma, the court is also seized of the PIL filed by NGO Common Cause, which has sought a inquiry by special investigation team against CBI officers.
