The Supreme Court of India today refused a plea made before it seeking to stop the oath taking ceremony of the newly elected ministers in Haryana.

"We are putting you on guard.. circulate the papers..", the bench added agreeing to hear the plea at the end of the board.
The counsel appearing for Congress party was later asked as to what kind of a petition he had filed.
Court went on to dismiss the petition noting it had alleged discrepancies in EVMs.
