President Droupadi Murmu on 1 September unveiled the flag and insignia of the Supreme Court at an event meant to mark 75 years of establishment of the apex court.
- The flag of the Supreme Court features the Sanskrit shloka: ‘Yato Dharmstato Jayah’ which means “where there is Dharma there is victory.”
- Coloured in navy blue, the insignia or the symbol of the top court also featured this motto.
- At its centre, the symbol features an image of the Supreme Court building, with the Ashok Chakra positioned above it.
- The Ashok Chakra, also featured on the Indian flag, represents the dharmachakra or “wheel of the law.”
- This symbol is inspired by the Sarnath Lion Capital, which was created by the 3rd-century BC Mauryan Emperor Ashoka.
