A bench comprising justices H L Dattu and S A Bobde also declined the plea for reconstituting the SIT involving retired judges of the apex court, including a person from the minority community.
"Reconstitution of SIT at this stage is not good," the bench said, referring the plea questioning the SIT clean chit given to BJP's prime ministerial candidate.
After the bench's remark, advocate Fatima A, who had filed the petition, decided to withdraw it which was allowed.
