Delivering the inaugural Sir Maurice Rault Memorial Lecture 2025 in Mauritius on ‘Rule of Law in the Largest Democracy’, he referred to his own verdict deprecating ‘bulldozer justice’. Highlighting the principle of rule of law and its expansive interpretation by the Supreme Court of India, Justice Gavai, who is on a three-day official visit to the island nation, said, “The judgment sent a clear message that the Indian legal system is governed by the rule of law, not by the rule of the bulldozer." Justice Gavai also emphasised the importance of the judgement which held right to privacy as a fundamental right.
