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.

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.
