The Supreme Court Monday dismissed a plea challenging the recent appointment of Justice Subramonium Prasad as an additional judge of the Madras High Court.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi refused to entertain the plea filed by M Radhakrishnan, saying there was no merit in the petition.
"We find no merit in any of the contentions raised in the special leave petition which would require a court to have any further look in the matter. The special leave petition is, accordingly, dismissed," said the bench, also comprising Justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph.
During the hearing, the bench sarcastically said, "We have made a wrong choice and the wrong choice has been acted upon by the President of India. And the concerned judge is now working. We will not do anything now."
