BR Gavai on Judiciary, Democracy, and Constitutional Values

BR Gavai, who used to be the Chief Justice of India, talked about how the judiciary, government, and parliament work together to protect the Constitution.

He said the Constitution is the supreme law and all three branches must follow it.

He also discussed important topics like bulldozer justice, reservations for marginalized communities, and the independence of the judiciary.

Gavai emphasized that judges should make decisions based on the law and their conscience, not public opinion.

He also talked about the collegium system for appointing judges and why it's important to keep the judiciary independent from government influence.

Additionally, he mentioned the judiciary's role in monitoring issues like firecracker pollution and ensuring personal liberties are protected.
