SC rejects plea challenging Justice Gogoi's appointment as CJI
The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea challenging Justice Ranjan Gogoi's appointment as the next Chief Justice of India, calling it "devoid of merits". "Highest post of judiciary...awarded to a person...guilty of...judicial misconduct," the petition claimed. It was referring to Justice Gogoi and the other Supreme Court judges' press conference voicing concerns over CJI Dipak Misra and judiciary's administration.
