Justice Bhushan Ramakrishna Gavai assumed office as the Chief Justice of India as he sought blessings from his mother in front of President Droupadi Murmu and PM Narendra Modi at Rashtrapati Bhavan. His first task involves addressing President Murmu's reference under Article 143(1) on setting deadlines for assent to Bills. Gavai's oath ceremony marked a significant moment, as he became the first Buddhist and second Dalit to hold the position.
