Chief Justice of India BR Gavai was admitted to a hospital in Delhi after being diagnosed with a severe infection during his recent visit to Hyderabad. An official source familiar with the matter told news agency PTI Justice Gavai is responding well to the treatment and is expected to be discharged soon and resume his duties in a day or two. The CJI was in Hyderabad on July 12 to deliver the convocation address at the Nalsar University of Law. While addressing the convocation ceremony at NALSAR University of Law in Hyderabad, Gavai pointed to the chronic problem of judicial delays, stressing that prolonged trials and the suffering of undertrial prisoners remain a serious concern. “Our country and legal system are facing unique challenges.

Our best talent can help us resolve the problems that we are facing,” he said. He also released a special postal cover titled “Babasaheb Dr BR Ambedkar – Constituent Assembly – Constitution of India”, along with a set of picture postcards on “Art & Calligraphy in the Constitution of India”.
