Chaos in Supreme Court as Lawyer Attempts to Throw Shoe at Chief Justice Gavai

National News: On Monday, during Supreme Court proceedings, a lawyer suddenly stood up and tried to hurl his shoe at Chief Justice B.R. Gavai. Fortunately, security personnel reacted immediately and stopped him. The sudden move shocked everyone present in the courtroom. The incident created a moment of tension and disrupted the ongoing hearing. Lawyers and attendees were stunned by the unexpected act.

Security Quickly Overpowered the Lawyer

The alert security staff wasted no time in catching the accused lawyer before he could create more chaos. He was escorted outside the courtroom under strict watch. During this process, the lawyer raised slogans, loudly shouting that he would not tolerate the insult of Sanatan Dharma. For a brief moment, court proceedings were disturbed but normalcy was quickly restored.

Chief Justice Remained Completely Calm

Despite the commotion, Chief Justice Gavai maintained remarkable calm. He told the lawyers present in court that they should continue with their arguments without any disturbance. His composed reaction prevented panic in the courtroom. Observers noted how his calmness controlled the situation and brought the focus back on the legal hearing.

Controversy Over Old Vishnu Remarks

The shocking incident is believed to be linked with an old controversy. Reports suggest that the lawyer was upset over CJI Gavai’s remarks in a case involving a damaged Lord Vishnu idol in Khajuraho. Those comments had earlier drawn protests from some Hindu groups. However, court officials maintained that the accused was only causing noise and disruption.

What Did Gavai Say on Vishnu Idol?

In the old case, Chief Justice B.R. Gavai reportedly told a petitioner to “pray to the deity” instead of demanding court intervention for restoring a decapitated idol of Lord Vishnu. He added that it was an archaeological matter requiring ASI permission. These words had sparked anger on social media, where several voices demanded his resignation. The issue resurfaced again with this courtroom drama.

Chief Justice Defended His Statement

Amid growing controversy, Justice Gavai clarified that his words were being misinterpreted online. He insisted that he never intended to insult any religion. He explained that his comments were directed at legal procedure, not faith. Stressing his impartiality, the Chief Justice said, “I respect all religions equally.” His clarification, however, did little to silence critics who remained unconvinced.

Tense Atmosphere Raises Security Concerns

The shocking incident has raised new concerns over the safety of top judges inside the courtroom. The attempt to attack the Chief Justice has been seen as a serious breach of decorum. Many legal experts have urged for tighter security in the Supreme Court to prevent similar outbursts. The incident is expected to trigger a debate on respect for judiciary and rising intolerance.
