A video of the Lady Justice Statue at the Supreme Court has gone viral as it has undergone a landmark change with its blindfold removed and a copy of the Constitution replacing the sword it traditionally held in one of her hands, in a departure from the familiar sight people had about the statue. 

A video of the Lady Justice Statue at the Supreme Court has gone viral as it has undergone a landmark change with its blindfold removed and a copy of the Constitution replacing the sword it traditionally held in one of her hands, in a departure from the familiar sight people had about the statue. 

The statue of Lady Justice was unveiled few months ago by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud. It sends a message that justice is not blind but functions based on the Constitution.

The statue of Lady Justice has been redesigned to reflect a modernised version of justice in India. In the previous version, 'Lady Justice' was portrayed with a blindfold over her eyes. The new statue, however, has open eyes, symbolising that 'justice is no longer blind'.
