NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to urgently list a plea challenging the appointment of Anurag Gupta as the Director General of Police (DGP) of Jharkhand.

After senior advocate Anjana Prakash Gupta mentioned the matter, Chief Justice of India (CJI) B.R. Gavai agreed to list it before a three-judge Bench next week.

The senior counsel said that DGP Gupta was continuing in office in violation of the apex court guidelines in the Prakash Singh vs Union of India case.
