Justice Bhushan Ramakrishna Gavai was sworn in as the 52nd Chief Justice of India on 14 May.
The newly appointed CJI BR Gawai of the Supreme Court said on Saturday that judges cannot ignore the ground reality. He was speaking at the honor ceremony of Bar Council of India (BCI). During this time CJI Gawai emphasized the role of judges in understanding and responding to social realities.
CJI Gawai said that today’s judiciary cannot take the risk of seeing legal matters in strict black and white words, ignoring the complexities of human experiences.
The CJI emphasized that it is not effective to keep distance from people in the judiciary. He rejected the notion that the judges of the Supreme Court should avoid joining the people.
The father had said- if you become a judge, you will be able to carry forward the attitude of Baba Saheb
CJI Gawai also spoke about his initial hesitation of getting the post of a judge. He said that his father told him that working as a lawyer would bring economic prosperity, but by serving as a judge in the constitutional court, he will get a chance to carry forward Dr. BR Ambedkar’s social and economic justice.
Assuming his father’s advice, CJI Gawai expressed satisfaction over his 22 -year tenure as High Court Judge and a six -year tenure as Supreme Court Judge. He said that during this time he has always tried to give his best to the judicial system.
