A CJI led bench begins hearing a plea by Advocate ML Sharma challenging the foundation of @PMCares , a fund created especially to pool in monetary resources for #COVID19

Sharma-- Short question is under Article 266 and 267- a contingency fund can be created by Parliament of India. Here there is no notification or ordinance.

CJI-- This is a misconceived petition. This is not about collection of revenue

CJI Warns Adv ML Sharma: We will impose cost on you. This is a misconceived petition. Don't argue.

Plea dismissed with no costs.
