Constitution of India supreme, its pillars must work together: CJI Gavai
Mumbai (PTI): Chief Justice of India B R Gavai on Sunday stressed that neither the judiciary nor the executive, but the Constitution of India was supreme and its pillars must work together.
Justice Gavai, who took oath as the 52nd CJI earlier this week, spoke at his felicitation ceremony and state lawyers' conference organised by the Bar Council Maharashtra and Goa here.
The Chief Justice said he was glad that the country has not just strengthened but has also developed on the social and economic fronts and continues to do so.
"Neither the judiciary nor the executive and the Parliament is supreme, but it is the Constitution of India which is supreme, and all the three wings have to work as per the Constitution," he said.
He underlined that the country's basic structure was strong, and all three pillars of the Constitution were equal.
"And all the organs of the Constitution must reciprocate and give due respect to each other," he said.
A book chronicling 50 remarkable judgments pronounced by Justice Gavai was released during the event.

Deadline Trump announced for Iran to begin ceasing fire against Israel passes
Dubai (AP): Iranian state television reported on Tuesday that a ceasefire had begun in its war with Israel, even as Israel warned the public of a new missile barrage launched from Iran.
It wasn't immediately possible to reconcile the messages from Iran and Israel on the 12th day of their war.
Iranian state television announced the ceasefire in a graphic on screen, not immediately acknowledging the new missile barrage coming after the deadline set by President Donald Trump in his earlier ceasefire announcement.
A series of Iranian barrages before the ceasefire deadline killed three people and injured at least eight others in Israel, rescuers said.
