As P J Thomas maintained that he has not resigned from the post of central vigilance commissioner, the government on Friday said he no more holds the Constitutional post whether he quits or not.

"Where is the question of resigning? There is no need. The Supreme Court itself said it. So there is no question. He cannot continue," said Law Minister M Veerappa Moily.

He said at the most, the government would issue a notification saying the post of CVC was vacant. Soon after the Supreme Court struck down Thomas' appointment on Thursday, Moily had said that he had resigned.

However, hours later, Thomas' counsel Wills Mathew said his client had not resigned and was mulling moving a review petition against the apex court verdict.
