The Supreme Court on Wednesday (December 17, 2025) asked the Centre and the Supreme Court Bar Association to suggest measures to prevent recurrence of incidents like the attack attempt targeting former CJI B.R. Gavai in the courtroom.
The court also asked for a standard operating procedure for the media to report on such incidents.
A Bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, and senior advocate and SCBA President Vikas Singh, to submit suggestions to it for issuing the guidelines to deal with the issue.
"The solicitor general, Tushar Mehta, and senior advocate and SCBA president jointly state that they will put up joint suggestions recommending preventive measures for these kinds of occurrences, and the protocol to be observed for reporting and publicising such incidents in future," the CJI said.
