Wait 5 sec.

CJI BR Gavai expressed concern over judges’ oral remarks being misrepresented on social media, citing an incident where he restrained Justice K Vinod Chandran from commenting during a hearing. The remarks follow a shocking episode in which an elderly lawyer attempted to throw a shoe at him over his previous comments on a Khajuraho Vishnu idol plea, which the court had dismissed.
