The day started as usual, though an hour later than usual court hours at 11.30 a.m. The court had reopened after a week-long holiday, and many urgent cases had been lined up for hearing.
The offending object flew in from the left side of the Bench while the Judges were turned to their right, hearing advocate Shivam Singh mention his case for an urgent listing.
