CJI BR Gavai said the Supreme Court’s decisions are the result of joint efforts by judges, lawyers, registry, and staff, not judges alone. He urged stronger coordination with Bar bodies while reflecting on unity and secular values in his farewell speech.
Justice AS Oka criticized the Supreme Court’s tradition of allowing retiring judges to stop working on their last day. He emphasized the need for reform, expressing his dislike for retirement and his commitment to serving until the end. Oka advocated for ongoing legal training and acknowledged the support of Advocates-on-Record.
