Justice Bhushan Ramkrishna Gavai was sworn in as the 52nd Chief Justice of India on May 14, 2025. Hailing from a Dalit background, he becomes only the second Dalit to assume the nation’s highest judicial post. Born in Amravati, Maharashtra, his legal journey reflects deep commitment to constitutional values and social equity. Influenced by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Justice Gavai has championed marginalized voices, including his pivotal 2024 ruling supporting sub-categorization within Scheduled Castes. His tenure is expected to reinforce inclusive justice and safeguard democratic ideals within India's judicial system. (PC: Hindustan Times)
