According to the new plea, Kishore's actions of shouting slogans within the courtroom and trying to throw a shoe at the CJI's dais constituted a "deliberate attempt to undermine the dignity of the Supreme Court" as well as "gross interference with the administration of justice."

According to the letter, Kishore continued to disparage the chief justice in public appearances long after the incident occurred, demonstrating no remorse and instead defending his actions.
He maintained that such actions "show a clear intention to undermine public confidence in the judiciary and scandalize the court."
