The farewell ceremony for Chief Justice of India BR Gavai took an unexpected turn that grabbed everyone's attention and added a touch of humor to a formal occasion. During the proceedings in Courtroom No. 1, a lawyer, in a moment of heartfelt respect, announced that he had brought a packet of flower petals to honor the retiring CJI by 'showering' him with them. As he opened the packet and prepared to toss the petals, things took a humorous twist. Without missing a beat, Chief Justice Gavai quickly interjected from the bench with a friendly yet firm request: 'No, no, don't throw… hand it over to someone,' which instantly sparked laughter among the gathered audience. This light-hearted interruption highlighted the human side of a solemn event, making it all the more memorable. The incident occurred on what marks CJI Gavai’s final official day on the bench, as he prepares to step down from his position on November 23. While the moment was playful, it also underscores how even the most formal ceremonies can reveal spontaneous, relatable moments that remind us of the personalities behind the titles.
