Supreme Court Drama: Shoes Thrown, Detentions Questioned, and Constitutional Battles

The Supreme Court of India witnessed a series of dramatic events on Monday. In an unprecedented incident, a 71-year-old lawyer allegedly attempted to throw a shoe at Chief Justice B R Gavai during court proceedings, raising concerns over courtroom decorum.

The court also addressed significant cases, including a plea from activist Sonam Wangchuk's wife challenging his detention under the National Security Act. The Supreme Court sought responses from the Centre and the Union Territory of Ladakh on the matter, highlighting the delicate balance between national security and individual rights.

Meanwhile, the court maintained its stance on various pleas, including refusing to challenge Telangana's reservation order for Backward Classes and dismissing calls for a probe against Kerala's Chief Minister in a financial dealings case. The session underscored the court's pivotal role in navigating complex socio-political issues.
