Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut apologises for remarks on CJI, court sets Nov 17 hearing

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP <b>Sanjay Raut</b> has issued an <b>unconditional apology</b> for his earlier remarks targeting the Chief Justice of India and the Supreme Court, and the apex court has ordered him to appear in person on <b>17 November</b>. The episode underscores the judiciary’s low tolerance for political flippancy, yet the drawn‑out process reveals a systemic lag where officials sidestep accountability while the public watches procedural theatrics unfold. For ordinary citizens, the saga is a stark reminder that political apologies seldom trigger swift institutional reform.
