The Congress was shocked by the results of the Harayna election and told the Election Commission that they wanted a full investigation.

SC decision on Nayab Singh Saini ceremony was passed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra who paid strong attention to the peal and said that it may impose a fee on the petitioner who filed the plea.

During the beginning of the session, when the plea came for an urgent hearing, the CJI said, “Do you want us to stall the oath-taking of an elected government? We are putting you on guard. We will impose costs. Circulate the papers. We will see.”

The CJI also asked, “How can we restrain the elected government from taking oath.”

The bench told the petitioner that they would be charged if they circulated three copies of the petition to all three judges.
