Newly elected Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) president Pradeep Rai hailed Chief Justice of India Surya Kant as a "fatherly figure" during his election victory celebration. Rai assured that the newly elected executive committee would work under CJI Kant's guidance and expressed his support for the bench.
