New Delhi, October 21: The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a man's plea seeking to be appointed as the President of India and asked the Registry not to entertain his further petition on the issue in future.

A bench of justices DY Chandrachud and Hima Kohli said that the petition is 'frivolous' and an abuse of the process of the Court. Canadian Sikh Accused of Killing His Kids, Strangulating Wife in Montreal Charged With Murder.

The top court also said that the petition was "scurrilous". The court had turned down the plea filed by Kishore Jagannath Sawant and directed the Registry not to entertain his further petition on similar issues in the near future.

The court also directed the registry to expunge "scurrilous" remarks made by Sawant from the record. Sawant, the appeared petitioner-in-person, alleged that he was not allowed to contest the recent Presidential polls.
