He said that he does not use leather or silk products either and his wife also
“I have two daughters who are especially abled and they continue to inspire me in whatever I do. I have gone vegan recently because my daughter said we should lead a cruelty free life. I don’t buy any silk product or any new leather product. My wife doesn’t buy any silk or leather products either,” he said.
He was speaking at the launch of the Digital Law Reports of Delhi High Court as well as the inauguration of an outlet of Sagar Ratna restaurant in the High Court campus.
The outlet would be run by neuro-diverse people.
In his address, the CJI also spoke about his experiences with differently-abled persons.
“Every day I come into contact with differently abled people, I realise the tremendous potential they have. This (Sagar Ratna outlet run by neuro-diverse persons) is no longer a one-off venture. Now this has become a movement. When Mitti Cafe was set up in Supreme Court, it was appreciated wholeheartedly by the lawyers,” the CJI said.
Mitti Café, an establishment entirely run by disabled persons, was set up in the Supreme Court premises in November 2023.
