Kolkata: Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court TBN Radhakrishnan has said that he would want to be addressed as ‘Sir’ by all judiciary officers in Bengal and Andaman instead of ‘My Lord’ or ‘Lordship’, as was the practice so far.

High Court Registrar General Rai Chattopadhyay convened the message of the Chief Justice, in a letter to the district Judges and Chief Judges of lower court in the state and Andaman and Nicobar Islands, said an official on Thursday.

The chief justice has expressed the desire that “henceforth officers of district judiciary, including members of Registry of the Hon’ble High Court would address the Hon’ble Chief Justice as ‘Sir’ instead of ‘My Lord’ or ‘Lordship’, in conformity with the applicable judicial and administrative precedents”, the letter said.
