CJI B.R. Gavai Highlights Key Judgments at Farewell Function
Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai, at his farewell on Friday, identified his ruling against 'bulldozer justice' as his most significant judgment, citing its alignment with the rule of law and the right to shelter. He also emphasized the importance of his August 2024 judgment on applying the creamy layer principle to Scheduled Castes for job reservations, which faced criticism from his community. Gavai stated that equality under Article 14 does not equate to equal treatment, advocating for measures to address socio-economic disadvantages. He reflected on his 40-year legal career, underscoring his commitment to the Constitution and social justice. The Supreme Court recently adopted a 'swadeshi interpretation' in its judgments, focusing on Indian precedents.
