CJI B.R. Gavai brings back the Supreme Court’s first emblem and removes controversial glass partitions. Legal fraternity hails it as a step towards restoring identity and accessibility.
New Delhi: Today, on June 02, the Supreme Court of India, under the leadership of Chief Justice B.R. Gavai, has made two major changes that have been widely welcomed by the legal community.
Firstly, the court has brought back its original emblem. Secondly, it has removed the glass partitions that had been installed in the corridors of the court building.
These glass panels were set up earlier to support centralized air-conditioning, but many lawyers and court staff were unhappy with them.
They said the glass partitions made it difficult to move freely inside the building and blocked natural airflow.
Many people felt that the old design of the building was better, as it allowed open movement and a more welcoming environment.
The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) and the Advocates-on-Record Association had also raised concerns earlier.
They said the glass partitions were “unnecessary and ill-conceived” and that the decision to install them was taken “without sufficient consultation”.
Chief Justice B.R. Gavai officially confirmed the removal of the glass partitions during a special event held for the retirement (valedictory function) of Justice Abhay S. Oka. While speaking at the event, he said the court was returning to its “original avatar”.
These words were meaningful for many in the legal world, especially because they showed that the court was listening to the concerns of lawyers and staff.
These changes, although they may seem simple at first, are being seen as a positive step towards making the Supreme Court more accessible and bringing back its original identity.
Another important step was the revival of the Supreme Court’s first and classic emblem. Over the last few years, a different version of the logo was being used.
But now, under the new leadership, the court has gone back to using the original logo. This move has also been appreciated by many people, who see it as a way of respecting the court’s history and traditions.
