Chief Justice of India BR Gavai has come under criticism over his remarks, perceived as insensitive by a section of advocates, while hearing a plea seeking the restoration of a damaged Lord Vishnu idol in Madhya Pradesh.
The CJI Gavai-led bench, while rejecting the plea on Tuesday, said the matter fell under the jurisdiction of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and asked the petitioner to “pray to Lord Vishnu” for some intervention.
