Ours is a democracy and adopted a constitution and we celebrated Constitution day on Jan 26,2021 but the courts and judges have forgotten this . Please allow you to be addressed as "Sir" not as Lord or your honour.

[@poohthegreatslayer]

Exactly

[@zingerburger337]

Our courts and their decisions are influenced by the govt in power. This is where a country's defense should step in to impose justice. Lekin vo to bas pakistan se ulajhne me aur grass cutting aur hockey khelne me busy hai. Phir real hero ka bhi title lelete hai everytime. Meanwhile, gundays enter politics and make/pass silly laws who know nothing about economy. Border pe hi nahi border k andar zyada suraksha chaahiye - rape se, genocide se, mob lynch se, godi media se, etc etc.

[@evaisthisiaeclaire6365]

"M'lord" originates from the age of aristocracy in Britain. The servants, usually from the poorest sections of London or from Ireland, had a different accent and hence would call their employers (the British peers) "m'lord".

[@shikutk2387]

"Milord" is also correct. It's French and also included in English meaning same as "My Lord".

[@akilansundaram2181]

These judges are so busy in deciding what they should be called. I think it is time they focused on more serious issues. Also, the SC mostly caters to the richest or the most powerful ones first. Ordinary men's cases take much longer to be heard. Justice delayed is justice denied.

[@AnasKhan-lv6mm]

My dear friends at the @quint. I have to say it is wonderful to see your videos, the information shared and the painstaking research which it must go through can be imagined and understood. As a lawyer myself, i have to say research and editing which one has to go through to end up with some usable content ia a painstaking and demanding job. That said, certain matters are out of the purview of a common man. This video for instance is an example of such matters. What the lawyers address the Judges and wat the judges like to be addressed is none of the commoner's business. Similarly certain institutions and their bylaws that govern the internal matters of the institute are not to be a subject of discussion. For making you better understand this so that you can relate, If the editor at Quint calls and refers to his seniors as Mr.Moron or mr.Buffon..have nothing to do with the public at large. I advice you to put this video down at once as this is an internal matter and you or the public at large lack jurisdiction. To end it quint style .. Jab Miya Biwi ho Razi , kyun taang ladatey ho Qazi!.

[@cultclips587]

Supreme Court Judge's and other Court Judge's rather than focusing on what they should be called should focus on Solving tha lakhs and lakhs of cases

[@abhiprop4038]

Finally a useful video from quint...

[@abrarmullan1]

Your Honor is widely used term if not so than CJI must clarify what to say.

[@amitkumarjha2257]

When so many cases are pending in the court judges are fighting what is the right way to call ..

[@aaryatyagi302]

saying "your honour", "Me lord" or lordship are english terms used by solicitors to adress their proceedings in the engish House of lords. since we dont have that, it is correct that we just call them sir, or dont refer the judge at all. since india is a democracy, the judge does not need to be adressed. "Honorable court" would be quite enough

[@jontro_]

FYI, our rule of Law has been adopted from the English .

[@Sandarpan]

First, they should do away with so many holidays with so many cases pending.

[@bikashgurung6054]

The main issue here is..... The contention is takingnplace in the Apex Court in the country. It should be respected and honored as the highest court of the land. Therefore my lord or if not at least Lordship is an appropriate term, but your honor and sir is loke fisrespecting the system

The whole conventions are medieval and therefore today obsolete.They call mi lord not my lord because of the medieval British system where peasants addressed their feudal lords as" M'lord " and only people of nobility origin could call feudal lords as my Lord.

There's too much emphasis on too much and that's why we lose the basic sense of understanding the subject in academics and real life we tend to focus more on gramtically words rather than the flow of it and sense I respect that we should change the salutation words because it's just interesting to now focusing on ( imperial mindset respects ) that were applicable in pre independence era but not today after 1947
