The humble sanitation worker called 'Jamadar' in the Apex Court will now be addressed as 'Supervisor', with CJI D Y Chandrachud deciding to change the nomenclature of certain posts, stating they reflected a "colonial mindset" having no place in modern society.
While inaugurating the 'Supreme Court Sports, Cultural & Other Events- 2023' in which 970 court employees will participate, the CJI said the purpose behind organising the events was to encourage a holistic pattern of living for the staff & to promote their physical & mental well-being.
The Supreme Court, in a statement, said 12 sports & 9 cultural events will be organised.
CJI Chandrachud also mentioned some of the welfare measures being planned for the staff, including a bigger & better equipped creche, a training centre, & a staff library among others. He also referred to his recent administrative decisions to change the nomenclature of certain designated posts.
The CJI greatly encouraged the women staff members to participate in the upcoming sports events, emphasising that they are no less than their men counterparts. He also distributed track suits for the events to select staff members, including persons with disabilities. The CJI inaugurated the event by taking the first shot with the striker in a game of carrom. Secretary General of the top court Sanjeev Kalgaonkar also spoke at the inauguration function.
