CJI Chandrachud also shared a light-hearted saying that captures the spirit of Gujarat, illustrating how a Gujarati can turn even a tea break into a business strategy meeting, showcasing the quintessential humor and business acumen of the region.
He emphasized the entrepreneurial mindset prevalent in the state, saying, “Highlighting the entrepreneurial spirit ingrained in every aspect of life here yet beyond the laughter is the core essence of progress in Gujarat. Rajkot, much like its people, has continuously embraced change while staying rooted in its cultural heritage. It is in this ability to amalgamate tradition with innovation that the true essence of development is discovered.”

The new district court building, a five-storey structure, is a modern addition to Rajkot’s judicial landscape. It houses courtrooms, judges’ chambers, a video conferencing hall, chambers for public prosecutors, a canteen, a library, and a bar room. This development is a significant step forward, as 39 courts previously scattered across the city will now operate under one roof, streamlining judicial processes and providing better facilities for court staff and litigants.
The inauguration of this court building is not just a step towards judicial modernization but also a testament to Gujarat’s progressive nature, blending tradition with modernity – a theme that was aptly highlighted by CJI Chandrachud in his address.
