After carrying the relics of the 200 yr old British rule, India is finally getting rid of some useless baggage from past.

Their Lordships will henceforth just be their Honours. 'My Lord' and 'Your Lordship', the two phrases used since the British Raj by lawyers to address judges of the Supreme Court and high courts, have just been confined to history by the Bar Council of India. In a recent resolution amending the rules, BCI replaced the two most important phrases with 'Your Honour' and 'Honourable Court' saying that words 'My Lord' and 'Your Lordship' are "relics of the colonial past" which need to be weeded out. In the lower courts, lawyers can address the presiding officers as 'Sir' or the equivalent word in the respective regional languages.
