In lower courts like district or any other tribunal, lawyers address judges as your Honour but in case of Session Court and High Court lawyers generally address the presiding officer as Lordship or Your Honour. However Supreme Court has clearly informed that there is no need to address judges as Lordship because they cannot become Lord and they are human but still lawyers address the judges as Lordship in Higher Courts.

I am not sure what your question is?

Peter Pedant

your question is: how do I address a judge in court.

This is an english site but the answer is the same as it was in the glorious days of the British Raj: it depends which court. Your Lordship is definitely wrong
"Judge" can be right - - as in 'Yes Judge'
it depends on which court and the best guide is to ask the usher who shows you into court....
