New Delhi, Oct 9 (PTI) - The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has immediately terminated the membership of lawyer Rakesh Kishore after he was found guilty of "grave misconduct" for attempting to throw a shoe at Chief Justice of India B R Gavai in the courtroom. The incident marked a shocking breach of security as the 71-year-old Kishore was heard yelling "Sanatan ka apman nahi sahenge," which translates to "will not tolerate insult to Sanatan Dharma."
Following the incident, the Bar Council of India swiftly suspended Kishore's bar license. The SCBA described Kishore's "reprehensible, disorderly and intemperate behaviour" as a severe breach of professional ethics, courtroom decorum, and an affront to the dignity of the Supreme Court.
"The Executive Committee views such behaviour as a direct assault on judicial independence, the sanctity of courtroom proceedings, and the time-honored relationship of mutual respect and trust between the Bar and the Bench," the association noted. After careful consideration of the incident and its seriousness, the Committee determined that Rakesh Kishore's continued membership in the SCBA would be incompatible with the dignity and discipline expected of its members," stated the SCBA resolution.
