The Rajya Sabha bid farewell to former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi as he completed his six-year term in the Upper House. When the house met at 11 am, Rajya Sabha Chairman CP Radhakrishnan bid farewell to Gogoi, announcing his retirement. Chairman said, as a distinguished jurist, Gogoi brought unparalleled legal acumen and experience to the deliberations of the House. He said, ‘His intervention in the Rajya Sabha reflected deep understanding of legislative process and public interest. The House will miss his wise counsel, measured interventions and the gravitas he brought to the House’.

Gogoi was nominated to the Rajya Sabha on March 16, 2020. However, the record of his performance as a nominated member does not present a particularly active legislative engagement. His attendance was nearly 53%, as per the data compiled by PRS.

The data on the Rajya Sabha website shows that during his six-year term, Gogoi participated only in one debate, which was about the Delhi Services Bill in August 2023. Although the Parliament discussed various crucial laws during this term, such as the farm laws, new criminal laws, the Tribunal Reforms Act, the Waqf Amendment Act, and a Constitution amendment bill pertaining to women's reservation, the jurist did not participate in those debates. It is also pertinent to note that Gogoi has not raised a single question during this term. Nor has he moved any private member bill.
