    My dear friends at the @quint.
    I have to say it is wonderful to see your videos, the information shared and the painstaking research which it must go through can be imagined and understood. As a lawyer myself, i have to say research and editing which one has to go through to end up with some usable content ia a painstaking and demanding job.
    That said, certain matters are out of the purview of a common man. This video for instance is an example of such matters. What the lawyers address the Judges and wat the judges like to be addressed is none of the commoner's business.
    Similarly certain institutions and their bylaws that govern the internal matters of the institute are not to be a subject of discussion. For making you better understand this so that you can relate, If the editor at Quint calls and refers to his seniors as Mr.Moron or mr.Buffon..have nothing to do with the public at large.
    I advice you to put this video down at once as this is an internal matter and you or the public at large lack jurisdiction. To end it quint style .. Jab Miya Biwi ho Razi , kyun taang ladatey ho Qazi!.

What happens in court affects public at large and not the people in court only.I advice you to not to write stupid comment like this further.

    Our courts and their decisions are influenced by the govt in power. This is where a country's defense should step in to impose justice. Lekin vo to bas pakistan se ulajhne me aur grass cutting aur hockey khelne me busy hai. Phir real hero ka bhi title lelete hai everytime. Meanwhile, gundays enter politics and make/pass silly laws who know nothing about economy.

    There's too much emphasis on too much and that's why we lose the basic sense of understanding the subject in academics and real life we tend to focus more on gramtically words rather than the flow of it and sense
    I respect that we should change the salutation words because it's just interesting to now focusing on ( imperial mindset respects ) that were applicable in pre independence era but not today after 1947

    These judges are so busy in deciding what they should be called. I think it is time they focused on more serious issues. Also, the SC mostly caters to the richest or the most powerful ones first. Ordinary men's cases take much longer to be heard. Justice delayed is justice denied.

  • @aaryatyagi302

    saying "your honour", "Me lord" or lordship are english terms used by solicitors to adress their proceedings in the engish House of lords. since we dont have that, it is correct that we just call them sir, or dont refer the judge at all. since india is a democracy, the judge does not need to be adressed. "Honorable court" would be quite enough
