The Sri Lanka Buddhist Lawyers Association has extended its wishes to Justice Bhushan Ramkrishna Gavai on his appointment as the 51st Chief Justice of India and the first Buddhist to assume the highest judicial office in India. 

“Your unwavering commitment to equity, wisdom, and compassion and working for the welfare of all sentient beings through the dispensation of fair and enlightened justice echoes the teachings of the Buddha,” the Association said, in a letter addressed to the Indian Chief Justice.

The Sri Lanka Buddhist Lawyers Association further said, “In these times of complexity, may your leadership inspire not only Bharat but the wider region in reaffirming the foundational values of justice, tolerance, and universal fraternity.” (Newswire)
