MUMBAI, May 19 -- Chief Justice of India BR Gavai expressed disappointment over the absence of top administrative officials to receive him at a felicitation ceremony and state lawyers' conference in Mumbai on Sunday. "If the chief secretary of the state, director general of police or Mumbai police commissioner does not want to come there, when the CJI, who is from Maharashtra, has arrived for the first time, it's up to them to think about whether it is right or not," the CJI said in his speech at an event organised by the Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa.
