Verma, who returned to office from a 77-day exile had issued two orders Wednesday “withdrawing” all the transfers done by Rao on 24 October, 2018, and 3 January, 2019. In October Kumar was granted bail on a personal bond of Rs 50,000 and surety of the same amount by Delhi’s Patiala House Court after initially reserving its verdict on his bail plea. He was  arrested on 22 October in connection with bribery  allegations involving his immediate senior at the agency, CBI Special Director Rakesh Asthana. In its order on Tuesday, the Supreme Court set aside Verma’s forced leave but restrained him from taking any major policy decision till the CVC probe into corruption charges against him is over.
