Recalling his first meeting with Justice Ramana in April 2019. Justice Gavai expressed that Justice Ramana had always been a guiding figure, not only professionally but personally as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">One of the most significant aspects of their connection, according to Justice Gavai, was their shared rural background. All three \u2014 Justice NV Ramana, Justice Surya Kant, and himself, hailed from agricultural families in rural India and were first-generation lawyers. This commonality formed a strong foundation for their personal and professional relationship. Justice Gavai fondly recalled how Justice Ramana, despite his busy schedule, always made time for others and extended his support in times of need.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Justice Gavai praised Justice Ramana for his humanity, empathy, and compassion, qualities that were evident in his judgments and speeches. He also highlighted how Justice Ramana\u2019s tenure as Chief Justice of India was characterized by his commitment to breaking down the barriers that isolated the judiciary from the public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 3%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/16-30_BR-Gavai-Speech-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">\u201c<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Justice Ramana believed in engaging with the people and making the judiciary more accessible, something that was clearly reflected in the overwhelming support he received from his home State, as well as from across the country, during his farewell<\/span>\u201d, Justice BR Gavai noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 3%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/16-30_BR-Gavai-Speech-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Justice Gavai pointed out that Justice Ramana&#8217;s popularity was not confined to his professional accomplishments but was deeply rooted in his relationships with people from all walks of life.

Justice Ramana\u2019s reforms, including the appointment of judges from diverse backgrounds and the historic swearing-in of nine new judges in 2021, were cited as significant steps towards making the judiciary truly reflective of India&#8217;s social fabric.

He shared a memorable moment when, despite the restrictions of the COVID-19 lockdown, he had the opportunity to sit with Justice Ramana and other colleagues to continue serving the public through online hearings. He recalled the shared moments of camaraderie and the delicious South Indian meals that Justice Ramana\u2019s wife, prepared, which added a personal touch to their work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Justice Gavai also touched upon Justice Ramana&#8217;s early years as a student activist and journalist, highlighting how his journey from a small village in Andhra Pradesh to the highest position in the judiciary was a testament to his hard work, dedication, and sincerity.
