The Supreme Court directed the Bar Council of India to act on ensuring “30% reservation for women” in State Bar Council polls. CJI Surya Kant called it a “continuous mandamus” and asked the BCI to issue a notification by Monday.
The Supreme Court of India ordered that 30% of positions in district bar associations across Karnataka be reserved for women lawyers, following previous directives for the Advocates Association Bengaluru. The Karnataka High Court also supported this initiative, emphasizing the importance of women’s representation in legal institutions and amending bylaws for permanent changes.
