Lawyer attempts to hurl shoe at CJI in apex court

CJI BR Gavai

While the CJI decided not to take any action against the lawyer, the Bar Council of India later suspended him and Delhi Police detained and questioned him for several hours before letting him go.

According to a person aware of the matter, after security personnel intervened and escorted the lawyer out of the courtroom, officials sought the CJI's instructions on the future course of action. “Just ignore,” the CJI told them, asking that the lawyer be warned and let go. The lawyer was later identified as Rakesh Kishore.
