SC Refuses To Stall Oath Taking Ceremony Of Nayab Singh Saini Govt In Haryana

The Supreme Court on Thursday has refused to stay the oath-taking ceremony for the Nayab Singh Saini-led BJP government in Haryana, scheduled to begin shortly in Panchkula.

A bench consisting of Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, Justice J.B. Pardiwala, and Justice Manoj Misra addressed the plea with strong disapproval, indicating that costs may be imposed on the petitioner for filing such a request.

“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 Chief Justice stated when the plea was brought forward for urgent hearing.

The bench questioned the validity of restraining an elected government from assuming office, with CJI Chandrachud asking, “How can we restrain the elected government from taking oath?” The petitioner was instructed to provide three copies of the petition for the judges and was cautioned about possible fines.

Nayab Singh Saini is set to take the oath of office as the Chief Minister of Haryana, marking his second term. The ceremony will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, senior BJP leaders, and partners from the National Democratic Alliance.

Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya will administer the oath of office and secrecy to Saini during the event.
