Woman Lawyer Escorted Out of Supreme Court After Repeated Disruptions

In a rare incident at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, a woman lawyer was escorted out of the Chief Justice of India’s courtroom after she repeatedly refused to leave despite several requests from the bench.

The disruption began when the lawyer made an out-of-list oral mention before the bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant. She claimed that her close friend, whom she described as a brother, had been murdered in a Delhi guest house while she was in Mumbai. She further alleged that the police officer who initially declined to register her FIR had now been appointed as the investigating officer in the same case.

The CJI interrupted her and advised her to file a proper petition so the Court could examine the matter through the correct legal process. In response, the lawyer said she was in depression and would file it later. The Chief Justice then asked if another lawyer could assist her in taking the appropriate legal steps.

However, even after the Court called the next matter, she continued to speak. When women Court Marshals approached her to guide her out, she resisted and shouted, “Don’t misbehave, don’t touch me.”

Justice Ujjal Bhuyan also attempted to calm the situation, telling her to listen to the Chief Justice. But she continued to express fear for her safety and insisted that she only wanted to bring the issue to the Court’s attention.

Another woman lawyer present in the courtroom urged her to maintain decorum, reminding her that she was a member of the Bar. The woman advocate responded sharply, leading to the Court proceedings being muted due to her raised voice.

After continued disruption, she was finally escorted out of the courtroom.
