The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed a plea seeking to restrain its senior most judge, Justice D Y Chandrachud, from taking oath as the Chief Justice of India on November 9 by terming the entire petition "misconceived".
"Having heard the counsel, we see no reason to hear.... We find the entire petition to be misconceived," a bench of the apex court said.
Earlier, the bench headed by Chief Justice Uday Umesh Lalit agreed to hear the plea during the day itself, instead of Thursday.
