'Post retirement, I am not going to accept any government job but rather would go for consultation and arbitration,' said the Chief Justice of India (CJI) B R Gavai on Saturday, who is set to retire on November 23.
"I have declared this on several occasions in the past that I will not accept any government position after November 24. I will do consultation and arbitration," CJI Gavai said while speaking at the inauguration of the Late T R Gilda Memorial E-Library in Amravati District and Sessions Court in Maharashtra.
Gavai paid tributes at the memorial of his father and former governor of Kerala and Bihar, R S Gavai, in his native village, Darapur, in Amravati. The CJI, along with his family members, attended the death anniversary programme of his father in their village.
On Friday, he also laid the foundation stone for a grand gate to be constructed on the way to Darapur village. The entrance has been named after RS Gavai, who was fondly called Dadasaheb Gavai.
