On Feb 23, the Supreme Court warned a law student not to address the Judges as 'Your Honour' as it was not the 'US Supreme Court'.
A bench of Chief Justice S A Bobde, Justice V Ramasubramanian and A S Bopanna said, "When you call us 'Your Honour' it appears that you have the US Supreme Court in mind". He immediately apologised and said that he would address the Judges as 'Your Lordship' to which Chief Justice Bobde said, "Whatever, but don't use inappropriate terms".
The bench informed him that the US Supreme Court and Magisterial court can be addressed as 'Your Honour' but not Indian Supreme Court.
The student had filed a plea seeking the strengthening of the infrastructure of the judiciary on the criminal jurisdiction and had appeared in-person. The bench informed him that a matter in this regard is already pending in the Supreme Court in which the SC has directed to strengthen the judiciary infrastructure up to subordinate judiciary level in a phased manner to which the student feigned ignorance. It informed that there is a pending case titled 'Malik Mazhar Sultan vs UPSC' in which directions have been issued to the Centre, High Courts and State governments to strengthen the infrastructure right up to subordinate judiciary level.
The bench told the student to do his homework before approaching the court and adjourned the matter for 04 weeks. The bench also advised the student to come prepared on the next hearing.
