The Supreme Court on Friday decided not to take any action against a litigant who created chaos inside the courtroom by throwing case papers, abusing the judges and verbally insulting Chief Justice of India Surya Kant before being escorted out by security personnel.

A Bench of Justices KV Viswanathan and Alok Aradhe said that although the petitioner-in-person, Prabal Pratap, made "incoherent and unparliamentary utterances" instead of arguing his case, the Court would not proceed against him considering his condition.

The incident took place during the hearing of a Special Leave Petition challenging an April 2026 judgment of the Allahabad High Court.

As soon as the matter was called, Pratap did not make legal arguments. Instead, he told the Bench, "Mr judicial servant, I order you to order the registration of an FIR against the Assistant Commissioner of Police of Lucknow."

Surprised by the statement, Justice KV Viswanathan asked, "You are ordering me? You are ordering us?"

Pratap replied, "That is all from my side. Everything is on record."

Soon after, the hearing turned chaotic. Pratap threw his case papers inside the courtroom, shouted abuses and, while being taken out by security personnel, also verbally abused the Chief Justice of India.

In its order, the Court noted that instead of presenting his case, the petitioner "made incoherent and unparliamentary utterances."

Despite his behaviour, the Bench decided not to initiate contempt or any other proceedings against him.

"We have, however, considering the condition of the petitioner above named, do not propose to take any action against him," the Court said.

On the main case, the Supreme Court found no reason to interfere with the Allahabad High Court's decision and dismissed the Special Leave Petition.
