Exclusive: Retired CJI Gavai on Judicial Independence, 'Bulldozer Justice' and Executive Power

In an exclusive interview with India Today following his retirement, former Chief Justice of India, Justice B. R. Gavai, addresses the debate on judicial independence, the supremacy of the Indian Constitution, and key judgments from his tenure. He discusses rulings related to ‘bulldozer justice’, the powers of state governors regarding bills, and a verdict striking down an act on tribunal service conditions. Justice Gavai states, ‘neither the judiciary nor the parliament are supreme. What is supreme is the constitution.’ He also reflects on his work concerning environmental protection, including the Aravallis, and explains why contempt petitions on bulldozer demolitions could not be heard due to other pressing matters before his retirement.
