Supreme Court Shows Restraint in CJI Shoe-Throwing Incident, Considers Preventive Measures

The Supreme Court of India on Monday opted not to initiate contempt proceedings against a lawyer who targeted Chief Justice of India BR Gavai in a recent shoe-throwing incident. Instead, the court decided to ponder over the establishment of preventive measures to forestall similar occurrences.

The event, which unfolded in New Delhi, underlines the necessity for enhanced security and guidelines to uphold the decorum of the court while safeguarding judges. The apex court's stance reflects a balanced approach between maintaining judicial respect and addressing grievances.

This development coincides with the court's other adjudications, including reliefs granted to Vodafone Idea and reflections on energy trade at the East Asia Summit, indicating a focus on significant policy and procedural evaluations.
