⚖️Justice is no longer blind".🪙
The statue of Lady Justice has been redesigned to reflect a modernised version of justice in India.
In the previous version, 'Lady Justice' was portrayed with a blindfold over her eyes.
The new statue, however, has open eyes, symbolising that "justice is no longer blind".
👀Blindfold removed from 'Lady Justice'
Not only has the emblem of the Supreme Court been updated, but the iconic blindfold of 'Lady Justice' has also been taken off.
🖥Constitution replaces sword
In the earlier statue, 'Lady Justice' held a sword in one hand as a symbol of punishment, while the other hand held scales that represented fairness.
In the new statue, the sword has been replaced by the Constitution, while the scales remain unchanged.
The change symbolises that justice in India is dispensed according to the Constitution which ensures equality for all.
