The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has passed a resolution criticizing the recent changes to the Supreme Court’s emblem and the ‘Lady Justice’ statue, which were made without consulting its members. The new ‘Lady Justice’ statue now features open eyes and holds the Constitution instead of a sword, symbolizing that Indian law is neither blind nor punitive. Traditionally, ‘Lady Justice’ is depicted blindfolded, but the new version aims to convey that the law is not blind in India.
The SCBA expressed concerns over these changes, noting that the Supreme Court unilaterally implemented them without involving the Bar, despite the association’s role as a key stakeholder in the justice system. The resolution states that members are unaware of the rationale behind the alterations, which are seen as a move to shed the colonial past while highlighting the modern idea that law in India is open-eyed and just.
Additionally, the SCBA opposed the proposal to convert the former judges’ library into a museum. They had previously requested a cafe-lounge for members, as the existing cafeteria is insufficient. Despite their objections, work on the museum has already begun, raising further concerns within the association.
