Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi on Sunday voiced concerns over “belligerent and reckless behaviour” by certain individuals and groups, reported PTI. Speaking at the foundation ceremony of an auditorium of the Guwahati High Court, Gogoi said that he hoped that these incidents were exceptions, PTI reported.

“I am hopeful that such incidents turn out to be exceptions and the strong traditions and ethos of our institution shall always assist our stakeholders to display resilience to overcome the belligerence of such wayward constituents,” the chief justice was quoted as saying. Gogoi, however, did not mention any specific names.

The chief justice went on to differentiate between courts and other government establishments, saying that the former has multiple stakeholders coming together to facilitate justice even though they may not be tied together by a single hierarchy of commands. “It is therefore important, for each stakeholder functioning in a court complex, to learn and accept that the institutional traditions and practices are the greatest gifts that we inherit in our respective journeys even as we associate with the process of justice dispensation in various capacities,” Gogoi said.
