New Delhi, November 24, 2025
In an unprecedented decision, Justice BR Gavai, recently retired from the judiciary, chose to forego the official car and associated privileges usually granted to retired judges. The move, announced on Saturday, has been widely praised as a symbol of simplicity and ethical commitment, setting a new precedent for public officeholders in India.
Legal experts and civic commentators noted that Justice Gavai’s gesture reinforces public trust in the judiciary and highlights the importance of leading by example. The decision has sparked discussions on the broader need for accountability and restraint among officials post-retirement, with many calling it a refreshing departure from traditional entitlements.
