New Delhi, 6 October (IANS) Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai on Monday allegedly decided that no action would be taken against a person dressed in a lawyer’s rebel-who attempted to disrupt the proceedings in the first Supreme Court in the first day-by trying to throw an item on CJI Gavai-Bench.
Allegedly, the man approached the desses and allegedly tried to remove his shoes, but the security personnel immediately intervened and expelled him out of the court.
While taking away, he was heard shouting slogans referring to Sanatan Dharma.
The proceedings were briefly interrupted, but the CJI remained composed by Gavai and continued without any break.
He said, “Don’t be distracted by all this. We are not distracted. These things do not impress me,” he said.
Later, sources confirmed that CJI Gawai had stated that the matter should be ignored and no further action should be initiated against the person concerned.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association unanimously passed a resolution, allegedly expressed “deep pain and rejection”, allegedly “an inappropriate and intimate gesture”, which was aimed at insulting CJI Gavai-Bench.
Conduct called the “imbalance of a member of the bar”, Skora said that it was hit on the foundation of mutual respect that maintains relations between the bench and the bar.
Sankalp said, “This behavior is contrary to the constitutional values of legal profession’s dignity and decoration, discipline and institutional integrity.”
It states that any attempt to reduce or personalize gestures against the Supreme Court’s sitting judges “makes a direct attack on the independence of the judiciary and reduces public confidence in the judiciary distribution system.”
The bar body urged the apex court to take the suo motu cognizance of the incident and initiate proper contempt proceedings.
Skora said that the Act was “a calculated trick to condemn the authority of the Hon’ble Supreme Court and reduce its dignity in the eyes of the public”.
Sankalp said, “This type of course will work as an essential reminder, which is the freedom to speak, while holy, with it is the duty of restraint – especially for the members of the legal profession who is the court officer,” Sankalp said.
