New Delhi, October 6: The Bar Council of India (BCI) has suspended Delhi-based advocate Rakesh Kishore after he allegedly attempted to throw his sports shoes at the Chief Justice of India during a Supreme Court session on October 6. The BCI's interim suspension, effective immediately, prohibits Kishore from practicing in any court or tribunal across India. The action invokes the Advocates Act, 1961, and BCI Rules, emphasizing the need for advocates to maintain dignity and respect for the judiciary.

Kishore’s suspension includes the invalidation of his court access credentials. The BCI has directed the Bar Council of Delhi to update Kishore's status and notify all relevant courts and Bar Associations. The suspension will remain in effect until further proceedings, with Kishore required to explain the incident within 15 days. This interim measure underscores the importance of maintaining judicial decorum in legal practice.
