The bench said it would not accept such a "cavalier approach" to the top court.
The Supreme Court on Monday took exception to making the Chief Justice of India one of the party respondents in a plea challenging the designation of lawyers as senior advocates.
A bench headed by Justice SK Kaul asked advocate Mathews J Nedumpara, who along with others has filed the petition, as to how they have arrayed the chief justice of India and the full court of judges of the top court, through the secretary general, as party respondents.
"See the array of parties. You are a lawyer with 40 years of experience. How can you implead respondent number two (CJI) and three (full court) as parties? You first amend the memo of parties," the bench, also comprising Justice A Amanullah and Justice Aravind Kumar, said.
The bench said it would not accept such a "cavalier approach" to the top court. It told Mr Nedumpara that the moment the top court registry had objected to it, the petitioners should have amended it.
