Justice Bhushan Ramkrishna Gavai was sworn in as the 52nd Chief Justice of India (CJI) today, May 14, 2025, during a ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan. President Droupadi Murmu administered the oath in Hindi at 10:00 AM in the Ganatantra Mandap, marking a historic moment as Justice Gavai became the first Buddhist and the second Dalit to hold this position, following Justice K.G. Balakrishnan (2007–2010).
Justice Gavai’s appointment, effective May 14, 2025, followed Justice Sanjiv Khanna’s recommendation on April 20, 2025, adhering to the seniority norm. The Union Government notified his appointment on April 29, 2025. His tenure as CJI will conclude on November 23, 2025, upon his retirement at age 65, spanning just over six months. Celebrations erupted in his hometown of Amravati, Maharashtra, with locals marking the occasion with fireworks and sweets.
