The chief minister is not an expert who knows everything. There is nothing wrong in the appointment,” a bench also comprising Justices D Y Chandrachud and S K Kaul said. The court was hearing a PIL filed by one Rajesh Kumar Jaiswal seeking quashing of the appointment of Kishor as advisor to the Bihar chief minister and restraining the state government from making such appointment.
