Today, On 14th May, The Supreme Court has now reserved its judgment in the long-pending Sabarimala reference after an intensive 16-day hearing before a nine-judge Bench. Led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, the Bench reconsidered constitutional questions tied to the 2018 ruling.
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.
