The Supreme Court corridors were the scene of an unusual yet amusing spectacle recently when two playful monkeys turned a regular day into an episode of mischief, stealing a lunchbox and captivating an audience of lawyers. The incident, captured on camera and shared by senior advocate Sanjay Hegde, has since gone viral, garnering over 50,000 views.
The footage reveals the monkeys in a busy corridor of India’s apex court. Demonstrating remarkable agility, one monkey hops onto a shelf next to a courtroom door and swiftly snatches a bag. It then scampers back to the parapet, sits down, and triumphantly pulls a lunchbox from the bag. The bag is discarded as the monkey attempts to open its newfound treasure, much to the amusement of the onlookers.
Laughter can be heard in the background as the lawyers and others present enjoy the unexpected break from their routine, watching the curious monkey wrestle with the lunchbox. The entertaining ordeal temporarily transformed the solemn atmosphere of the court into a lively scene of ‘monkey business.’
This light-hearted event has captured the attention of social media users, sparking a flurry of humorous comments and shares. The incident provides a comic relief from the usual serious proceedings of the Supreme Court.
The timing of this monkey caper is particularly notable, occurring just after the Delhi High Court directed the city administration to address the escalating issue of monkeys in the capital. The growing presence of monkeys in urban settings poses unique challenges for public safety and animal control.
