The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed a plea seeking to restrain its seniormost 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.

Justice Chandrachud, the CJI-designate, is set to take oath as the 50th Chief Justice of India on November 9. The plea was filed by one Mursalin Asijith Shaikh.
