Supreme Court Justice Pankaj Mittal Bats for ‘Indianised’ Statue of Lady Justice with Gita, Vedas, Puranas and Constitution

Justice Pankaj Mittal advocates for the “Indianisation” of justice, proposing that Lady Justice’s statue holds the Gita, Vedas, and Puranas alongside the Constitution. This reflects a shift towards Indian identity, emphasizing recent judicial changes like translations of judgments and the reimagining of symbols. Legal education, he notes, should foster empathy and creativity.
