This special report covers the Supreme Court’s response to a contempt of court plea concerning a shoe-throwing incident targeting the Chief Justice of India. The matter was brought before a bench headed by Justice Suryakant, which expressed strong reservations about pursuing the case urgently. Refusing to list the matter immediately, the court remarked, ‘let the issue die a natural death, within a week, more saleable items will come up in the news’. The bench observed that the CJI had already dismissed the act as that of an ‘irresponsible citizen’ and warned that judicial time, which could be used for bail hearings, should not be spent on ‘chirping elements’. Despite the Attorney General granting consent for contempt proceedings, the court has posted the hearing for after the Diwali break, stating that raking up the issue would only serve to monetize the controversy on social media platforms that ‘thrive on hate’.
