⚖️ Human Rights Must Go With Development: BR Gavai
Former CJI BR Gavai stated that human rights cannot be separated from social and economic development concerns. He delivered this speech at the ninth Chief Justice MC Chagla Memorial Lecture. Gavai stressed that economic growth alone isn't enough to measure true human progress. He cited instances like establishing eco-sensitive zones and banning human-pulled rickshaws in Matheran. The judge emphasized that public institutions must enable people to participate in choices and seek remedy for rights violations.
