Drama in SC, petitioner abuses Chief Justice, orders bench to take action

The Supreme Court on Friday witnessed dramatic scenes when a complainant appearing in person threw documents towards the Bench and shouted abuses during the hearing of his petition challenging an order of the Allahabad High Court. He was immediately escorted out of the courtroom by security personnel. The incident took place before a bench of Justices KV Viswanathan and Alok Aradhe. The courtroom atmosphere turned tense when the petitioner adopted an unusually aggressive tone while addressing the judges.
The petitioner, identified as Prabal Pratap, appeared before the Bench and introduced himself as "the sovereign". Addressing the judges as "judicial servants", he said, "Mr Judicial Servant, I order you to order the registration of an FIR against the ACP, Lucknow, for running a syndicate in cybercrime."
A surprised Justice KV Viswanathan asked him in disbelief, "You are ordering me? You are ordering us?" However, the petitioner then began abusing the Chief Justice of India and threw papers into the air, disrupting the hearing. “Ye de dena CJI ko (give this to the CJI),” he said while using cuss words as he was being taken away by court officers. Court security personnel intervened immediately and escorted him out of the courtroom. He was then detained in the DSP's office inside the courtroom for some time.
Even after the dramatic scenes, the Supreme Court bench took the case on its merits and passed an order, in which the justices made it clear that they would not initiate any action against the petitioner for his derogatory behaviour. The court also said that, after reviewing the records and the merits of the case, it found no grounds to intervene. “The special leave petition is accordingly dismissed. All pending applications for permission to appear and argue in person and permission to file petition(s) shall also stand disposed of,” the order further stated.
The petitioner had challenged an Allahabad High Court order that dismissed his writ petition against a decision of the Special Chief Judicial Magistrate (Customs), Lucknow. The magistrate had directed that his application be treated as a private complaint instead of ordering registration of an FIR. The Allahabad High Court held that the petitioner had an effective alternative remedy against the trial court's order and granted him liberty to approach the appropriate forum.
