Supreme Court Drama: Petitioner Throws Documents At The Bench, Shouts 'Ma******d; Watch Video

Drama in Supreme Court is something that can only be seen in the movies, but here's a reality check. A routine hearing in Supreme Court turned dramatic on Friday after a petitioner shouted at the bench, claimed to be the "sovereign", and threw documents amid the proceedings.

On the bench was Justice K.V. Viswanathan and Justice Alok Aradhe and the petition was filed by Prabal Pratap. Interestingly, despite the petitioner's behaviour, the judges chose not to initiate any action against him and instead dismissed his plea on legal grounds.

What Was the Case About?

The petitioner - Pratap approached the Supreme Court after the Allahabad High Court declined to interfere with a trail court's decision over his complaint filed under section 173(4) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).
He wanted the apex court to direct the registration of an FIR in connection with his complaint.

Petitioner Claimed to Be the 'Sovereign'

It was during the hearing where there was a dramatic turn of events in the way the petitioner addressed the bench.

He allegedly called the judges "judicial servants" and instructed them to issue an FIR case against an Assistant Commissioner of Police in Lucknow and also a private limited company.

In making his submissions, he kept on saying that he was "the sovereign" and also directed the Bench to make an order in his favor.

His words seemed to shock the judges, with one of them asking the petitioner whether he was ordering the court.

Supreme Court Chose Not to Take Action

Despite a dramatic behaviour of the petitioner in the Supreme Court, the Bench decided not to initiate any action against him. The Bench said that it found no valid reason to get into the Allahabad HC's order.

The Bench said it did not wish to take any action against him and instead expressed sympathy for his condition.

The incident, captured on video, has since drawn attention for the rare courtroom disruption and the calm manner in which the Supreme Court handled the situation.
