SC dumps petition aganst Chandrachud
New Delhi:The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed a plea seeking direction against the oath taking of Justice Dr D Y Chandrachud as the next Chief Justice of India on November 9 and termed the entire petition as "completely misconceived."
A Bench led by current Chief Justice Uday Umesh Lalit rejected the petition.
The petition cited certain judicial orders and alleged conflict of interest against Justice Chandrachud and sought a direction to restating his oath on November 9.
"There is no merit in the petition. The petition is completely misconceived. We are dismissing it," the bench said.(UNI)
