Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani has hailed the former Chief Justice of India for playing a key role and contributing in nation-building here on Monday.
Addressing a gathering at the Gujarat National Law University (GNLU), Rupani hailed the Ayodhya judgment while also commending the former Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi, who was sharing the dais, for assigning priority to the case.
“The recent Supreme Court judgment in the dispute around Bhagwan Ram’s janmabhoomi reflects our judiciary’s maturity, sensitivity and independence. Regardless of the verdict’s delay, our judiciary inspects all aspects surrounding it… Despite the sensitivity, SC’s verdict was accepted readily by the country. No one raised any question regarding the verdict nor have expressed any regret,” said Rupani.
The Ayodhya dispute case verdict was delivered on November 9, 2019, by a five-judge bench headed by the then CJI Gogoi.
“With the historic verdict, Justice Gogoi played a key role in the development and progress of the country,” said Rupani. Justice Gogoi had commenced his term in October 2018 and the five-judge constitutional bench was constituted by January 2019.
