Supreme Court of India updates Lady Justice statue, replacing blindfold and sword with open eyes and Indian Constitution.
The Supreme Court of India has updated its Lady Justice statue in the judges' library, removing the blindfold and sword, and replacing them with open eyes and the Indian Constitution. This change, led by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, signifies a shift from a punitive approach to one emphasizing equality and constitutional values. The statue retains the scales of justice, symbolizing careful consideration of all arguments. This initiative also reflects a move away from colonial legal influences.
