The Delhi High Court deferred Bar elections in the national capital to December 13. The Court was hearing an application filed by the Secretary of the Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) to postpone the upcoming polls, initially scheduled for October 19. Two writ petitions were initially filed before the High Court by a few women lawyers. One of the petitions sought directions to all district bar associations in the national capital to implement 33 per cent reservation for women in all Bar elections, and the other sought reservation for women in the Executive Committee of the DHCBA.
