Chief Justice Misra himself was leading the Bench which had heard and decided the case of the medical college in question. Both pleas said Chief Justice Misra should not be part of any proceedings, both administrative and judicial, in the case. The Bench had ordered materials and evidence in the corruption case to be sealed and produced before the Constitution Bench on November 13. Chief Justice Misra also said there was no procedure in law to name the CJI in an FIR. Chief Justice Misra challenged Mr. Bhushan to read from the FIR the part which directly accuses him in the corruption case.
