Today, on 16th January, the Delhi High Court encouraged the Delhi High Court Bar Association to support AIIMS’ proposed 3,000 bed night shelter for patients’ families. A Bench led by Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya expressed lawyers would contribute, without issuing directions.
The Supreme Court mandated 33% reservation for women lawyers in elections for the National Green Tribunal (NGT) Bar Association. A Bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh issued the directive to promote gender representation in the legal profession. The Court also allowed lawyer-members of the NGT Bar Association to vote without mandatory registration with the Bar Council of Delhi. This move highlights the judiciary’s commitment to ensuring inclusivity and equality in legal institutions.
