Today (2nd May): The Supreme Court directed that one-third of SCBA posts must be reserved for women. For the current year, three executive members, two senior executive members, and the treasurer must be women. This aims to promote gender inclusivity and diversity within the association. The directive builds on a plea for gender representation. Elections for the 2024-25 term are scheduled for May 16th.
Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, criticized the limited representation of women in Bar Councils and Associations, describing it as an entrenched “old boys club”. He called for a more supportive environment for women to participate and succeed in elections, stressing the shared responsibility of all stakeholders and encouraging women advocates to contest elections and take on positions of responsibility.
