During proceedings before the Supreme Court of India, CJI Surya Kant recalled a judge once asking whether he wished to become a judicial officer and, after hearing “yes,” immediately telling him to “get out” of the chamber during his early legal career.
Chief Justice of India B R Gavai, recently appointed as the 52nd CJI, promises his commitment to uphold the Constitution and serve justice to all. He emphasizes equality and fairness, particularly for marginalized voices, and aims to restore public trust in the legal system during his tenure. His leadership will focus on democratic values.
