By The Assam Tribune

NEW DELHI, July 13 � P J Thomas, whose appointment as CVC was cancelled by President Pratibha Patil after the Supreme Court held it as illegal, has moved the Delhi High Court seeking stay of the appointment of his successor who is being sworn in tomorrow, reports PTI.

In his writ petition filed yesterday, Thomas sought a direction to the President not to issue any warrant of appointment as Chief Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) to Defence Secretary Pradeep Kumar without first deciding on his representation to her against the judgement of the Supreme Court.

Pradeep Kumar(62) will be sworn-in as the new CVC by President Patil at a ceremony in Rashtrapati Bhavan tomorrow.
