CJI Gavai 'Unfazed' After Shoe Thrown at Him in Court

 

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and CJI Gavai remained unfazed as a shoe was hurled inside the courtroom during a hearing, maintaining composure and continuing proceedings.

 

The shocking act briefly disrupted the Supreme Court’s proceedings but failed to shake the calm demeanor of the bench, reflecting their professionalism and dignity in the face of chaos.

 

The incident reportedly occurred during a routine hearing when an individual in the visitors’ gallery suddenly threw a shoe toward the judges’ bench. The security personnel immediately intervened and restrained the person responsible. Despite the commotion, CJI Gavai, known for his calm temperament, instructed that order be restored and resumed the hearing as usual.

 

Sources within the court said that the individual was detained and questioned regarding the motive behind the act. The Supreme Court registry is expected to take a strict view of the incident, emphasizing the need for stronger courtroom security measures.

 

Observers and legal experts have commended CJI Gavai for maintaining composure, stating that such moments test the judiciary’s resolve and discipline. This event highlights the importance of respecting judicial institutions and ensuring that proceedings remain dignified, regardless of provocation.

 

The Supreme Court is likely to review its visitor management and security protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future. Despite the disturbance, CJI Gavai’s calm reaction sent a strong message about the resilience and authority of India’s highest court.
