'Sorry, we cannot interfere': Supreme Court calls security to remove petitioner from courtroom
New Delhi/IBNS: The Supreme Court Tuesday rebuked a petitioner and asked him to refrain from using the name of an ex-Chief Justice of India before summoning security to remove him from the courtroom.
"Do not use the name of the judge," the Supreme Court bench advised the petitioner at first.
When he insisted that he be heard, a heated exchange followed. Irked by the altercation, the Supreme Court summoned the security to remove the petitioner from the courtroom. Arun Ramchandra Hublikar had filed a petition against ex-Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, now a Rajya Sabha member.
The petitioner claimed before the bench of justices Bela M Trivedi and Satish Chandra Sharma that his life had been made miserable by ex-CJI Gogoi's interference in an order related to a service dispute.
Not being convinced by the argument, the bench refused to entertain the petition.
The top court also said that there was nothing in his case. However, Hubllikar, who was also arguing the case, insisted the court hear his request as he kept blaming the former Chief Justice.
"We are going to impose cost. Don't take the name of the judge. There is nothing in your case," the Bench remarked.
"Nothing? How can it be said? It is an injustice against me. At least I should get justice before my death," Hublikar replied.
The court reiterated its intention to dismiss the petition.
"Sorry, we cannot interfere. Your all petitions are dismissed," it said. "How can you say sorry? This court has made my life miserable," Hublikar retorted.
This was when Justice Trivedi asked security to be called to escort Hublikar out of the courtroom.
"Call security. Don't compel us to take action against you. If you speak a single word, you are out," the bench warned.
When Hublikar refused to relent and said: "Madam, you are doing injustice against me. What is the problem in issuing notice against the complainant?" he asked again.
