The Higgs-top coupling plays a central role in the hierarchy problem and the vacuum stability
of the Standard Model (SM). We study the CP violating Higgs-top couplings in dileptonic channel
of tt¯h(→ b¯b) production at the LHC. We find that the CP violating interactions can affect the

interactions can be distinguished at 95% C.L. level at 14 TeV HL-LHC.
