FSea-ear Chief justness of bharat BR Gavai lately opened up near his experiences after the shoe-throwing attempt at him, made last month. He said that his decision not to pursue action against the lawyer stemmed from his upbringing and personal values.In an interview with ANI, former CJI BR Gavai said, “Maybe it is a result of my upbringing... I didn't even know it was related to some alleged utterances or observations made by me in court.” Gavai also added that he felt he should proceed with the matter and that it was a decision "taken in the spur of the moment," he said.Earlier, on October 6, Advocate Rakesh Kishore attempted to hurl a shoe at the CJI, who was in the courtroom. Security personnel present in the court intervened and took the lawyer out of the courtroom.
