Supreme Court Bar Association Challenges New Lady Justice Statue

The Bar Association criticizes changes to the statue and emblem, citing lack of consultation and expressing concern over a proposed museum.

The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has expressed dissatisfaction with the recent changes to the Supreme Court's emblem and the Lady Justice statue.
The new statue depicts Lady Justice without a blindfold and holding the Constitution instead of a sword, symbolizing that the law is not blind and is guided by constitutional principles.
The SCBA claims it was not consulted about these changes, arguing that they are equal stakeholders in the administration of justice.
The association also opposes the proposed museum in the judges' library, advocating instead for a cafe-cum-lounge due to inadequate current facilities.
Chief Justice DY Chandrachud supports the changes, aiming to move away from colonial symbols and emphasize justice according to the Constitution.
