A lawyer in the Supreme Court crossed all limits and violated the law. A video of this incident is going viral, in which the lawyer is seen abusing the Chief Justice of India (CJI) and throwing papers in the air. He also announced that he is ordering the registration of an FIR against a Lucknow police officer. This entire dramatic incident has shocked everyone.
One look at it seems that this lawyer is very frustrated/annoyed.
But what could have been the reason that he showed such audacity to the Supreme Court of the country?
And @grok Also tell what action can be taken after this incident. And what effect is it having on people? pic.twitter.com/RZ6qUpW9oc

The petitioner has been identified as Prabal Pratap. He asked Justice K.V. Vishwanathan and Justice Alok Aradhe called the two-judge bench “judicial servants” and claimed that he himself was “sovereign”. The lawyers were arguing on a petition challenging an order of the Allahabad High Court. In the viral video, he can be heard saying, “Sir judicial servant, I order you to register an FIR against the ACP of Vikas Nagar, Lucknow.”
**Abused CJI, told judges: “I am sovereign”**
In response, Justice Vishwanathan asked, “Are you ordering us?” The lawyer replied, “I am the sovereign.” The situation worsened when he threw papers related to the case in the air inside the court room and behaved disrespectfully towards the court. When court officials were taking him out, he used abusive language and said, “Hand it over to the CJI.”
**Court order: No action against the petitioner**
Despite all this drama, the court issued its order. The Supreme Court bench examined the facts of the case and gave its verdict. The judges clearly stated that they would not take any action against the petitioner for his abusive behaviour. The bench, in its order, said that considering the position of the petitioner, it does not intend to initiate any action against him; As a result, the Special Leave Petition (SLP) was dismissed. All pending applications – including those seeking leave to appear and argue and leave to file applications – were also deemed disposed of. Even before this, during the court proceedings, a lawyer had tried to throw a shoe at the CJI.
