A lawyer attempted to hurl a shoe at Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai in the Supreme Court on Monday. According to Bar and Bench, the security personnel present in court intervened in the nick of time and escorted the lawyer out.

However, the CJI remained unfazed and asked the lawyers present in court to continue with their arguments.

“Don’t get distracted by all this. We are not distracted. These things do not affect me,” he said.

The incident happened when the bench led by the CJI was hearing the mention of cases by lawyers.

The report quoted sources and said the lawyer went near the dais and attempted to remove his shoe and throw it at the judge.

As he was being escorted out of the courtroom, he was heard saying, “‘Sanatan ka apman nahi sahenge‘ (Will not tolerate humiliation of Sanatana)”.
