Maharashtra govt issues protocol guidelines for visit of CJI in the state

Mumbai, May 20 (UNI) The Maharashtra government on Tuesday issued protocol guidelines for the visit of the Chief Justice of India (CJI) to Mumbai and other parts of the state, two days after CJI BR Gavai expressed displeasure over the absence of senior Maharashtra government officials, including the Chief Secretary, during his first visit to the state after taking over as head of the Supreme Court.
The CJI is now officially designated as a Permanent State Guest in Maharashtra
Accordingly, the Chief Justice will continue to be entitled to all protocol-related facilities as per the State Guest Rules, 2004, including accommodation, vehicle arrangements, and security throughout the state during visits.
As per the Maharashtra State Guest Rules, 2004, dignitaries included in the list of declared state guests—or those considered as such—are accorded reception and farewell arrangements at airports by the State Protocol Subdivision.
At the district level, the District Collector’s office ensures similar arrangements through designated protocol officers.
During the Chief Justice’s visit to Mumbai, the Chief Secretary or their senior representative, the Director General of Police or a senior representative, and for visits to other districts, the respective District Collector and Commissioner/Superintendent of Police or their senior representatives are instructed to welcome the dignitary.
It may be recall that on Sunday when CJI visited Mumbai, the Maharashtra Chief Secretary, Director General of Police or the city police commissioner were not present to receive him during the visit to his home state, his first after assuming the top post, which is regular practice as per protocol.
