Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi has called off his week-long foreign trip before retirement in November to channel the time into writing judgments for crucial cases like Ayodhya's land title dispute, clean chit to the Government of India on the Rafale fighter jet deal and the entry of women into Sabarimala's Ayyapa temple, reports Times of India.
The cancellation of CJI's foreign trip also comes amidst the hearings on a petition seeking to bring the CJI's own office under the purview of the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
The petition filed by RTI activist Subhash Chandra Agrawal is being heard by a five-judge bench headed by the CJI.
CJI was thereafter set to travel to New York in the United States, Toronto in Canada and Bali in Indonesia in a multi-nation tour.
The tour now stands cancelled despite having been planned and scheduled much in advance.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?

Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
