💨 Abstract

President D Murmu calls for the decolonization of the judiciary, suggesting the removal of redundant colonial practices. This includes replacing the mandatory black coats and white band ties for judges with Nehru jackets, and revising leave rules for SC judges. The Lawyers Act 1961 mandated the black coats, a practice originating in England. Critics argue this is impractical in India's hot and humid climate.
