The CJI then said that case be listed before another bench. Tiwari in his petition submitted that Bar Council of India has already passed a resolution in 2006 saying that nobody will address the court in India as My Lord and Your Lordship but it is not being followed.
He said that Justice S Muralidhar of Delhi High Court has acted on the resolution and he insists that no advocate address the court by My Lord and Your Lordship.
"The petitioner submits that the same principle should be adopted by all the judges in the judiciary including the Supreme Court, High Courts and subordinate courts," he said adding "My Lords or Your Lordships is a sign of relics of colonial posts which in other words a symbol of slavery".
"Unless this court issues a writ in the nature of mandamus, the judges in the courts and the advocates appearing in the courts will not follow the amended Bar Council of India Rules which are mandatory now," Tiwari said in the petition.
