Sanjay Rathore vs. State (Govt. Of NCT Delhi), SLP(Crl) No.8930/2025, decided on 10th June 2025

The Supreme Court on 10th June 2025 declined to reduce the 18-month imprisonment awarded to an advocate convicted for using abusive and vulgar language against a woman judicial officer during a court proceeding, asserting that such behaviour threatens the safety and dignity of women judges.

A bench comprising Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra and Justice Manmohan was hearing a plea challenging a Delhi High Court order that upheld the conviction of the lawyer, Sanjay Rathore. The apex court refused to show leniency in sentencing, stating sternly, “Today, majority of our officers in Delhi are women. They will not be able to function like this—if somebody can get away like this. Think of their state.”.
