More than 700 personnel from the Delhi Police and central security agencies guard the Supreme Court complex, its judges, and staff, officials familiar with the security cordon said on Monday — hours after a lawyer allegedly attempted to hurl a shoe at Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan R Gavai during court proceedings.

According to police officers, each courtroom in the Supreme Court has separate guards, while the Chief Justice, who is a Z-plus protectee, has an additional dedicated security detail.

Eyewitnesses said around 10-12 Delhi Police personnel were present inside Court No. 1 when the incident occurred around 11.30am on Monday. The man, identified as lawyer Rakesh Kishore alias Kamal Kishore, was stopped in time and escorted out. The CJI, unperturbed, continued with the day's proceedings.

“The courtroom has three entrances, each guarded by armed personnel. The hall is also close to the office of the deputy commissioner of police (Supreme Court Security), ensuring quick response in emergencies,” said a lawyer present in court.
