Today, On 17th December, Supreme Court today heard a contempt plea over alleged shoe-hurling at former CJI B R Gavai during proceedings. The Bench said preventive measures are needed, as SCBA and Solicitor General Tushar Mehta agreed to give suggestions to Court.
Chief Justice of India B R Gavai has requested an end to discussions about a minor protocol violation during his visit to Maharashtra, asserting it should not be exaggerated. Justice Suryakant emphasized the issue was regrettable but trivial, urging respect among democratic branches. Officials involved later expressed their apologies and attended his public tributes.
A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Supreme Court regarding a breach of protocol during Chief Justice BR Gavai’s visit to Maharashtra, sparking national attention. The plea calls for an investigation into the role of state officials who did not attend the visit, raising concerns over respect for judicial dignity.
