In a curious judgement, the Gauhati high court had on Thursday struck down the resolution through which the Central Bureau of Investigation was set up and held all its actions as unconstitutional. The judgement by the division bench, comprising justices I A Ansari and Indira Shah, came on a writ petition filed by one Navendra Kumar challenging an order by a single judge of the high court in 2007 on the resolution through which CBI was set up. Malhotra contended that the government resolution on the formation of the CBI has been held valid by the Supreme Court time and again in a number of judgements.
