| unless judges are placed above ordinary realms submissiveness to justice would be difficult. on the other hand if judges feel pampered and placated justice would be distorted. so we are in a dilemma. | |

| Addressing a Judge by "My Lord", "Your Honour", "Lordships", etc., is just way to give respect to the Judges, and in no way intended to have any other meaning. It is the same way as addressing a person as "Sir" or "Madam", which only connotes respect. | |

| Dear Friends Just think the transaltion of Your hounour or mylord. How innoccous it is. In 1st calss magistrate court the advocate submit my lord to get attention or to crte an impression that he is from gods own land. There was a time the judiciary was handled by packka qualified who deserves a lords status. Now what You think twice before calling. Some times a Sir is above average. But what to do the minimum curtosy is Sir. | |

| I think 'sir' should be fine. To address them as 'My Lord' or 'Your Lordship' they have to be worthy. Nowadays their standards are so low addressing them with those words may look awckward. | |

| what to say i can say 'NO' Though they were in a position to frame law and recommend amendments.. they are also obliged to be 'gentle and humble' as Justice Markandey Katju said. So Sir is enough... But the term 'Sir' too British Honorary .. | |

| he is also equal to all humanity so "lord" should not be addressed.He must be called as "SIR" or its equivalent. | |

| the kind of behaviour and professional conduct which is being observed by our Hon'ble Judges, it really hurts while I refer them as My Lord or Your Lordship...but unfortunately the high ups in our profession are not taking adequate steps in this direction. | |

| They are not gods, they are not entittle to call them as My LOrd, Your Honour, they are common men,because of their status they cannot be called like this. Now a days everybody knows that how the judges are? | |
