Misbehavior with a Judge in the Courtroom

It is noteworthy that, enraged by the court's decision, the petitioner began speaking loudly and misbehaving in the courtroom. People present tried to calm him down, but the man threw his slippers at the judge. The judge narrowly escaped, and court staff and police immediately apprehended the complainant.

 

Following this incident, the Gujarat Judicial Services Association passed a resolution. The resolution stated that the attacks, threats, and vandalism against the Supreme Court and the City Civil Court in Ahmedabad are strongly condemned.
