While hearing a woman's plea for ₹12 crore maintenance from her estranged husband, Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai said, "You're an IT person. You've done your MBA. You're in demand...Why don't you work?" He said, "Aapko...khudko kamaa ke khana chahiye (You should earn your livelihood)." The woman also sought a house in Mumbai and a BMW car.
