"We will not like to even discuss it," a Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishanan said. It also refused the plea that if the CJI himself did not like to hear the matter it could be allocated before another Bench.
The petition filed by an NGO, Naya Bharti, had said since the CJI administers oath to the President, he should be treated in a similar manner and facilities like special aircraft for his travel be provided to him.
It had also sought a direction for providing SPG protection to the CJI and Z-category security to the Chief Justices of High Courts.
The NGO has challenged the Allahabad High Court verdict dismissing the petition on the ground that the issues raised in it cannot be treated as public interest litigation.
In the special leave petition (SLP), the NGO said the petition should be treated as a PIL since it has raised issues relating to the independence of judiciary and issues related to the security of judges.
