The Supreme Court faced an unusual disruption when a litigant threw papers, hurled abuses, and had to be removed from the courtroom during a plea hearing challenging an Allahabad High Court order. The incident occurred before Justices K.V. Viswanathan and Alok Aradhe, briefly interrupting court proceedings. The litigant demanded an FIR against an ACP in Lucknow and a private company, leading to chaos in the courtroom.
The litigant addressed the Bench, demanding the registration of an FIR against the ACP in Lucknow, stating, “Mr judicial servant. I order you to order the registration of an FIR against the ACP… Lucknow.” Surprised by this, the apex court inquired, “You are ordering us?” The litigant then threw papers, made offensive remarks, and disrupted the proceedings before being escorted out by security personnel.
The disruption occurred during a hearing challenging an Allahabad High Court order before the Justice Viswanathan-led Bench. This incident follows a previous disruption involving advocate Rakesh Kishore, who faced contempt proceedings for his conduct in the Supreme Court. The matter was taken seriously to protect the institutional integrity of the court, emphasizing the need to maintain decorum and respect within the legal system.
