In a profound departure from the traditional norms the new Lady Justice statue installed at the Supreme Court of India does away with the blindfold. This bold statement asserts that the law in India is not blind but rather aware of issues in society. Traditionally, Lady Justice, or 'Justitia,' dresses in a white robe and bears scales in one hand and a sword in the other, wearing a blindfold encasing her face. Or does it? This time, the non-wearing of the blindfold conveys another message — conscious judicial awareness of justice's complexities in India.Much debated and talked-about statue, it brings out an altogether new vision for justice in this country. The absence of the blindfold in India is perhaps an attempt to recognize the fact that justice cannot be blind to the inequalities and challenges present in society, a situation with which judicial processes have evolved dealing. The idea is to enhance that law has to be contextual and fair, especially in this very diverse nation of India, wherein judicial outcomes should be sensitive to the cultural and social fabric of the country. The statue, designed by a sculptor from Jaipur, is 8 feet tall and symbolic of strength, dynamism, and awareness. It holds the scales of justice, which stand for balance and fairness, and the sword, symbolising the fulfillment and execution of justice-but there is no blindfold. This change gives an implication that the judiciary cannot be insensitive to the subtleties involved in the cases before it, even more so in a country like India, where systemic problems like inequality, casteism, and corruption cannot be ignored while meting out justice. A statue unveiling of this nature comes at a time when the Indian judiciary is almost always criticized for striking the balance so aptly between legal precedence and social justice. The inability to observe the blindfold by many is seen as the Indian judiciary's willingness to be more amenable, progressive, and conscious of real-world contexts. But while some purists would hold that the blindfold is an essential element in ensuring the severeness of neutrality, this change seems rather deliberate in moving toward embracing a more engaged form of justice. In this bold move, the Supreme Court of India tries to send the message that though the law is unbiased, it cannot afford to be removed from the realities of society it serves. The new Lady Justice sculpture represents a judicial system that is awake to its challenges and has a readiness to ensure justice in an emerging world.
