Today, On July 26, 2025, CJI Gavai will inaugurated the Late T.R. Gilda Memorial E-Library at the Amravati District and Sessions Court. This state-of-the-art digital legal library is a major development for the legal community in the region.
CJI Gavai is scheduled to retire on November 23.
He was in Amravati for a special visit to pay tribute to his late father, R.S. Gavai also known as Dadasaheb Gavai on his death anniversary.
R.S. Gavai was a well-respected public servant who served as Governor of Bihar and Kerala and was known for his close association with Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and his active participation in the Ambedkarite movement.
The Chief Justice visited his father’s memorial and laid floral tributes in his honour. He was accompanied by close family members and local dignitaries for this solemn occasion.
R.S. Gavai passed away in 2015 and is remembered as a strong voice for social justice and Dalit empowerment in India. During his visit, Justice Gavai also laid the foundation stone for a grand entrance gate that will be built on the way to Darapur village.

The gate will be named after his father, R.S. Gavai. The structure will stand as a tribute to his father’s legacy and the family’s deep connection to their village.
In a heartfelt gesture that symbolised his love and respect for his roots, Justice Gavai took part in various ceremonies throughout the day. The celebrations did not end with just tributes. His visit also focused on improving the legal infrastructure of the region.
Earlier, on Friday evening, the Chief Justice was scheduled to inaugurate a new court building at Daryapur in the Amravati district.
The idea for this library was first proposed by former Chief Justice Sharad Bobde in 2018. Now finally ready, the library is expected to serve as a great resource for legal professionals, law students, and researchers by providing modern, technology-enabled access to essential legal information.
Justice B.R. Gavai, the son of Ramkrishna Suryabhan Gavai, has always carried forward his father’s ideals. R.S. Gavai, born in 1929, was a strong Ambedkarite leader who played a key role in the Buddhist movement in India and was also the Chairman of the Deekshabhoomi Smarak Samiti in Nagpur.
He was involved in state politics from 1964 to 1998 and founded the Republican Party of India (Gavai), an Ambedkarite political party.
He also represented Amravati in the Lok Sabha after winning the 1998 election. His contributions were recognised when he served as the Governor of Bihar, Sikkim, and Kerala under the Congress-led UPA government between 2006 and 2011.
One of the most talked-about decisions during R.S. Gavai’s tenure as Governor was in 2009 when he gave permission to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to prosecute Pinarayi Vijayan, the present Chief Minister of Kerala, in the SNC-Lavalin corruption case.
This move was seen as controversial since it went against the recommendation of the state cabinet. However, it was supported by the Congress-led central government in court, even though the Congress was in opposition in Kerala at the time.
