Chief Justice designate BR Gavai's inspiring journey
The Statesman Siliguri
|May 14, 2025
With the retirement of Chief Justice of India, Justice Sanjiv Khanna, Justice Bhushan Ramkrishna Gavai is all set to take over as the 52nd Chief Justice of India on Wednesday, May 14.
He will be only the second Dalit to occupy the top judicial post, after Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, who served as CJI from January 14, 2007 to May 12, 2010.
Justice Gavai's elevation holds profound symbolic significance for many across India. Coming from a humble background in a semi-slum area of Amravati, Maharashtra, Justice Gavai's life story is one of perseverance, integrity, and constitutional idealism.
In a recent address on April 14, 2025—Ambedkar Jayanti—Justice Gavai remarked: "It is solely due to Dr. B. R. Ambedkar's efforts that someone like me, who studied in a municipal school in a semi-slum area, could attain this position."
