The bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Augustine George Masih said, "We have held that the CJI and the committee had scrupulously followed the process except uploading photos and video, and we have said it was not required. But nothing turned on it because you did not challenge it then."

The legal option available to Justice Varma now is to file a review and a curative petition. However, the same bench would hear these petitions as well.
