FIR against the people who made bad remark on CJI Gavai of Supreme court

 

The controversy stems from remarks made by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan Ramkrishna (B.R.) Gavai on September 16, 2025, during a Supreme Court hearing on a petition seeking the reconstruction and reinstallation of a 7-foot idol of Lord Vishnu at the Javari Temple in Madhya Pradesh's Khajuraho (a UNESCO World Heritage site). CJI Gavai, heading the bench, dismissed the plea as a "publicity interest litigation" and remarked, "Go and ask the deity himself to do something. If you are saying that you are a strong devotee of Lord Vishnu, then you pray and do some meditation." These comments were perceived by some as mocking Hindu beliefs, sparking widespread outrage on social media and leading to casteist and derogatory posts targeting CJI Gavai, who is from the Scheduled Caste (SC) community and the third Dalit CJI in India's history.

The situation escalated on October 6, 2025, when 71-year-old advocate Rakesh Kishore attempted to hurl a shoe at CJI Gavai during proceedings in Court Hall No. 1 of the Supreme Court. Security personnel intervened promptly, and CJI Gavai remained composed, continuing the hearing without interruption. Kishore, while being escorted out, shouted slogans like "Sanatan ka apmaan nahi sahega Hindustan" (India will not tolerate the insult to Sanatan Dharma). The incident drew national condemnation, with calls for contempt proceedings and investigations under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, due to its alleged caste-based motivation.

FIRs Filed Against Individuals for Derogatory Remarks

Following the shoe-throwing incident and the subsequent flood of objectionable online content (including casteist slurs, threats, and vilification), multiple FIRs have been registered across states. These target social media users, activists, and YouTubers accused of posting content that insults the CJI, incites communal tension, or violates laws on public mischief and atrocities against SC communities.

  • Broader Actions: The All India Bar Association (AIBA) urged Delhi Police for an FIR against Kishore to uphold judicial dignity. Civil rights groups condemned the attacks as assaults on constitutional morality and demanded suo motu Supreme Court action under the SC/ST Act. Protests erupted in Thane, and CJI Gavai's family (mother and sister) called the incident a "blot on the nation."
