Maharashtra issues protocol rules for CJI’s visit

Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai has said the "trivial issue" of the protocol lapse during his visit to Mumbai on Sunday (May 18, 2025) should not be blown out of proportion and the matter should be given "quietus".

A release of the Supreme Court issued on Tuesday (May 20, 2025) said everyone concerned had expressed regret.

On May 14, the CJI disapproved the absence of the Maharashtra Chief Secretary, the Director General of police or the city police commissioner to receive him during his first visit to the state after being elevated to the top post.
