Chief Justice of India BR Gavai has said the “trivial issue” of the protocol lapse during his visit to Mumbai on May 18 should not be blown out of proportion and the matter should be given “quietus”.
A release of the Supreme Court issued on Tuesday said everyone concerned had expressed regret.
On May 14, the CJI disapproved the absence of Maharashtra chief secretary, director general of police or the city police commissioner to receive him during his first visit to the state after being elevated to the top post.
