New Delhi, Oct. 17 -- The Supreme Court on Thursday said that the incident involving an advocate's attempt to hurl a shoe at Chief Justice of India BR Gavai earlier this month should be allowed to die a "natural death" rather than being kept alive on social media or by "publicity hungry" individuals, even as it agreed to examine whether contempt proceedings should be initiated against the lawyer after the Diwali break. "We are not against freedom of speech, but when such rights are exercised at the cost of the institution's integrity and dignity, it assumes a different dimension," the bench observed.P4
