The Supreme Court today decided to examine the file on appointment of new CVC P J Thomas, who is allegedly involved in the cover-up of 2G spectrum scam. The court said it wanted to know if eligibility criteria had been followed. A bench headed by Chief Justice S H Kapadia comprising Justices K S Radhakrishnan and Swatanter Kumar on a petition questioning the new Central Vigilance Commissioner's integrity and challenging his appointment, said it would like to see if the consultation process has been followed.The petitioners had contended that Thomas could not be considered as a person of impeccable integrity as he was charge sheeted in the Palmoleine export scam when he was Kerala's Secretary in the state Ministry of Food and Civil Supplies.
