NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday visited the Supreme Court to meet Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and judges attending an international conference here. The Prime Minister, who has been busy campaigning for BJP in the Assembly elections in five states, took time out to be with Indian and foreign judges at the Supreme Court premises.

“The PM came around 9.20 pm and was there for almost 40 minutes,” an apex court official told in a statement. No other Indian Prime Minister has visited the top court.

The Prime Minister briefly interacted with Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi and other judges before leaving the Supreme Court — the venue of the conference of judges of Bay of Bengal Initiative for multi-sectoral technical and economic cooperation (BIMSTEC) — a regional organisation of seven member nations.
