New statue of ‘Goddess of Justice’ in Supreme Court
According to media reports, this new statue has been ordered and made by CJI DY Chandrachud. Its purpose is to give the message that the law in the country is not blind and it is not a symbol of punishment.
Changes in New Statue
The blindfold on the old statue showed that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. While the sword was a symbol of authority and the power to punish injustice.
However, the scales in the right hand of the statue have been retained, as it is a symbol of balance in society. The scales show that the court looks at and listens to the facts and arguments of both sides before reaching a conclusion.
An attempt to leave behind the legacy of the British era This statue is being seen as an attempt to leave behind the legacy of British rule. Recently, the Government of India had implemented the Indian Justice Code (BNS) law in place of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) law applicable since the time of British rule.
Making changes in the statue of the Lady of Justice can also be considered a step taken in this series.
Key sources associated with the CJI office said that the CJI believes that India should move forward from the British legacy. He believes that the law is not blind, it sees everyone equally.
That is, the court does not look at wealth, riches and other standards of dominance in the society.
According to the source, this was the reason why the CJI talked about changing the form of the Lady of Justice. He said that the statue should have the Constitution in one hand and not a sword, so that the country gets the message that justice is given according to the Constitution. The sword is a symbol of violence, but the courts give justice according to constitutional laws.
Till now, such a statue of the Lady of Justice was installed in the Supreme Court. It has a blindfold on the eyes and a sword in one hand.
The new statue has been installed in the library of the judges of the Supreme Court.
