Mishra in a rather indirect manner refuted the allegations of irregularities made against him. He also added that he found it easier to perform his duties as the chief justice because of the support received from all staffers and stakeholders.
Mishra became chief justice in August after another contender seniormost justice Deepak Raj Joshi was rejected by the parliamentary hearings committee. Mishra also expressed his gratitude to former chief justices, judges and the legal fraternity and the media for their support.
