The Chief Justice of India, B R Gavai, lauded the Indian Constitution's pivotal role in fortifying the nation's democratic structure during his address at Allahabad University. Highlighting its unique unified framework, he emphasized how the Constitution serves both the central and state governments effectively.

Justice Gavai further elaborated on the judicial system's accessibility, spanning from district courts to the Supreme Court, ensuring justice for all. He defended the collegium system, attributing its success to a blend of inputs from both state and central entities, contrasting with less stable democracies in neighboring countries like Nepal and Bangladesh.
