On Monday, a sudden incident took place during a regular hearing in the Supreme Court. A man threw a shoe at India’s Chief Justice BR Gawai. Luckily, the shoe only went to his leg and the Chief Justice did not suffer any physical injury.

This incident put a negative shadow in the history of the Indian judiciary. Despite the incident, Chief Justice Gavai remained completely calm and said: “I don’t mind such incidents. You guys continue your arguments.”

Who is the accused lawyer?

The accused lawyer is Rakesh Kishore. The court staff caught them and handed them over to the police. Rakesh Kishore was screaming at the time of the incident. According to the police report, Rakesh Kishore is a registered member of the Supreme Court Bar Association and lives in Mayur Vihar area of ​​Delhi. He enrolled in the Delhi Bar Council in 2009. He also found membership cards of Supreme Court Bar Association, Shahdara Bar Association and Delhi Bar Council.

The reason for throwing a shoe

The incident took place in connection with the petition related to the restoration of the damaged Vishnu statue in the Khajuraho campus of Madhya Pradesh. On 16 September, the Supreme Court dismissed the petition for reconstruction and re -installation of the seven -foot tall statue of Lord Vishnu at the Jawari temple of Khajuraho. The court called it a publicity interest petition.

What did Chief Justice Gawai say?

Chief Justice Gawai had said, “This is a complete propaganda interest petition. Go and ask God yourself to do something. If you are a strong devotee of Lord Vishnu, pray and pay some attention.” Hinduist organizations had expressed displeasure over this comment and there was a widespread debate on social media.

The sensation spread in the Supreme Court of the country on Monday (October 6) when a person threw a shoe at Chief Justice (CJI) BR Gawai. This incident happened for the first time in judicial history, which has shocked the entire country. On this, Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav has reacted strongly and called it an attack on democratic values ​​of India.

Tejashwi Yadav said in his statement that it is not just one person but an attack on the entire judicial system and constitution. He said that when the person sitting in the highest judicial post of the country has to face insults in the court, then it is a matter of concern. This is the same atmosphere that was spread in the country after 2014 under state protection, where hatred and violence were made normal.

Constitutional post in the country is also no longer safe- Tejashwi Yadav

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav described the incident as a symbol of the Constitution and Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar’s intolerance to the ideology. He said that the Chief Justice comes from the Dalit community and follows the spirit of the Constitution. If such individuals are not safe in constitutional positions, then this question is not only for the judiciary but for the whole country.

Why are the BJP who have anti-Dalit mentality now silent- Tejashwi Yadav

Tejashwi Yadav further said that this shoe has not been thrown on the Chief Justice, but on our Constitution and its author Baba Saheb Ambedkar. He alleged that people who spread hatred in the name of religion are now openly attacking the institutions of the country. Taking a dig at the BJP, he said that why the BJP holding the constitution and anti -Dalit mindset is silent on this incident. Do they find it all right? The dignity of the judiciary is the backbone of our democracy and it is the duty of every citizen to save it.

Democracy will be strengthened only when we respect his institutions

Tejashwi Yadav finally appealed to the countrymen to stand united against such trends which are weakening the constitution and the foundation of justice. He said that democracy will be strong only when we respect its institutions and maintain the dignity of the Constitution.

This incident has not only shocked the judicial world, but has also created a stir in the political corridors. The opposition has described it as a warning a threat to democracy, while a new debate has erupted on the security and dignity of the judiciary across the country.

The Supreme Court will announce an important decision on Friday in which the disputed order has been challenged to hold all stray dogs from Delhi and four districts (Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad). This order was issued on 8 August and now the question is whether it will be stopped, revised or will be applicable.

Decision will be heard of three judges
A bench of three judges headed by Justice Vikram Nath (along with Justice Sandeep Mehta and NV Anjariya) will decide whether the order is completely banned or changes or retained.

August 8 order and its expansion
On August 8, a bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan ordered that all stray dogs be caught and kept in permanent shelters in eight weeks and should not be released on the streets again. Later in written order it was extended to Faridabad. Also, a 5,000 capacity shelter was instructed to build in eight weeks.

Dispute and objection
Controversy immediately arose over this order. Many NGOs and animal welfare groups said that it is against the ‘Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act’ and ‘Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules’. According to these rules, dogs have to be sterilized and vaccinated and left back to the same area, not to close in shelters on a large scale.

Chief Justice changed benches
After the criticism and in view of the new petitions, Chief Justice BR Gavai withdrew the case from the Pardiwala bench and handed over to a large bench of three judges (under the leadership of Justice Nath). The bench held a long hearing on August 14 and reserved the verdict, which will now be pronounced on Friday.

Court displeasure at hearing
During the hearing, the big bench reprimanded the Delhi government and the municipal corporations that they are not implementing their own rules. The court said that both the safety and animal welfare of humans are being affected. The court asked the Delhi government whether it would follow the law or not.

Arguments of government and opposition parties
Giving examples of attacks on children and deaths from dog bytes, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said that immediate intervention is necessary. He said that dogs do not have to kill, but it is necessary to separate, sterilize and treat. At the same time, many senior lawyers including Kapil Sibal, Abhishek Manu Singhvi and Siddharth Luthra said on behalf of the NGOs that this order is illegal and invalid. He showed his statistics of the government that there was no death due to the recent dog byte in Delhi, which exposes the baselessness of the order.

Animal welfare conditions in order
In the written order issued on 11 August, the shelter should not have cruelty with dogs, should not be hungry, congestion should be avoided, weak dogs should be kept away and veterinary-related conditions were also added. Also, adoption was allowed to adopt with the approval of the Animal Welfare Board, but there was a direction of “strict action” on leaving the adopted dogs on the road.

Why the matter started
The whole matter arose when a six -year -old girl died of rabies after a dog bites. The Pardiwala bench had said that the incidents of dog byte are showing “worrying patterns” and local bodies have failed to ensure safety of public places.
