The SC has accepted the CBI's 'unqualified apology' for visiting the house of Orissa HC judge CR Dash on September 19, 2017. A bench of Justice AK Sikri and Justice Ashok Bhushan also quashed the FIR registered by the sentry posted at the residence of Justice Dash against the CBI sleuths who went the judge's house after Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta pointed it out. An affidavit filed by CBI's Joint Director, AC (HQ), AK Sharma said: "The deponent, on behalf of the entire unit involved in the case, once again expresses an unqualified apology to the institution of the High Court as also to the Hon'ble Judge, at the entrance of whose residence the team members reached under a bonafide mistake." The affidavit said that earlier also, the probe agency's DIG posted at Bhubaneshwar, had met the Chief Justice of the High Court and Justice Dash and had "expressed sincere regret and apologized for the incident". "The meeting with Hon'ble Chief Justice went for a considerable time and to the officers who attended the said meeting, the Hon'ble Chief Justice appeared to be satisfied," said the affidavit.
