'Your lordship/ladyship' and 'Milord/My Lord' to address the honourable Judges in India, prevent us to give our court system an identity of its own and a sense of belongingness 'WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA' desire. It bears no doubt that many countries use titles for addressing the honourable judges in accordance with their customs and traditions. As it is usually said, that the past will define the future, in many ways, India is still being subjected to adopted slavery with the carrying on of the British Courts' undefined and unreasoned practices. The fluid nature and fine line of distinguishable difference between respect and disrespect, tends to define the relations in personal and professional space, and is no different when it comes to how the learned counsels, public officials and other members of the public, are found addressing the honourable judges in our country.

' You cannot force someone to respect you, but you can refuse to be disrespected', a quote, though by someone unknown, truly encapsulates the natural principle of human tendencies, which, in all circumstances, cannot be so regulated through rules and procedures, as the subjects are products of emotions largely, than of logic.
