CJI called the Maharashtra protocol issue “trivial” and urged all to not blow it out of proportion. He requested the matter be “given a quietus” as regrets have already been expressed.
Recently, some news reports in newspapers and digital platforms have spoken about a small protocol-related issue that took place during the visit of the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India (CJI) to the state of Maharashtra.
The incident has drawn attention in the media, but officials involved in the situation have already expressed their regret regarding the matter.
While the media has been focusing on this protocol issue, the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India has taken a mature and calm stance.
According to an official press note released on 20 May 2025,
“News items are being published in the media regarding protocol issues during the visit of Hon’ble the Chief Justice of India to Maharashtra.”
The note clarified that the matter has already been addressed internally.
“All concerned have already expressed regrets.”
In response to the attention the incident is receiving, the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India has appealed to the public and the media not to exaggerate a minor matter.
“Hon’ble the Chief Justice of India has expressed that a trivial issue should not be blown out of proportion.”
He further requested that everyone move on from the matter peacefully.
“CJI has requested everyone that the matter be given a quietus.”
This development is important for both legal and public interest as it shows the dignity and balanced approach maintained by the country’s highest judicial authority even in situations of administrative error or miscommunication.
The CJI’s response highlights how constitutional office-holders often choose restraint and resolution over conflict and confrontation, encouraging everyone to stay focused on the bigger picture.
The legal community and citizens alike are reminded through this episode of the importance of not allowing minor issues to overshadow the critical responsibilities carried out by the judiciary.
