Why was the Indian law blind? Know the reason behind blindfolding the eyes

New Justice Statue In Supreme Court: A new statue of the Goddess of Justice has been installed in the Supreme Court. In which the blindfold has been removed and a book is seen in the hands instead of a sword.

A new statue of Goddess Justice has been installed in the Supreme Court. Some changes have also been made to this statue. The blindfold on the Goddess of Justice's eyes has been removed from this statue. Also, the Constitution book has been given in her hand instead of the sword. These changes have been made by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud. The purpose of this change is to show that the law of India is not blind.

Let us tell you that the new statue has been installed in the Supreme Court judges' library. CJI DY Chandrachud himself had ordered the making of this statue. It is worth noting that the symbols of blind law and punishment shown in this statute were not according to today's time. That is why these changes were made. In such a situation, the question arises as to why is the law of India called blind. And why was the Goddess of Justice blindfolded earlier? Let us know.

Why was the Goddess of Justice blindfolded?

Earlier, the Goddess of Justice was blindfolded. This meant that the law treats everyone equally. Along with this, the Goddess of Justice had a sword in her hand. This meant that the law had power. It can punish those who do wrong. However, one thing that has not been changed in the new idol is the scales. The scales are still kept in the hands of the new idol. This means that the court takes a decision only after listening to both parties in any case. This means that the scales are a symbol of balance.

Why is Indian law called blind?

In India, the Goddess of Justice had a blindfold on her eyes. Many people interpreted this to mean that the Indian law is blind. While the blindfold meant delivering justice without seeing someone. That is when justice is delivered by looking at someone, it can sometimes be interpreted in one direction. While the blindfold meant that the Goddess of Justice always delivers justice impartially. In this way, the Statue of Justice reminds us that true justice should be delivered impartially and without any discrimination.
