He will continue interviewing candidates for high court judgeships, focusing on appointing more women and first-generation lawyers. Justice Gavai aims to clear pending cases, including those involving significant public issues. While acknowledging the need for diversity, he emphasizes that merit should not be compromised, as will prioritize clearing significant public interest cases.
