New Delhi, March 18: The West Bengal government has told the Supreme Court that the state’s commission for backward classes is re-evaluating the issue of backwardness. This process is expected to be completed within three months. A bench comprising Justices B R Gavai and Augustine George Masih heard the matter.
The Supreme Court has issued a notice on a PIL regarding inadequate representation of women, queer individuals, persons with disabilities, and marginalized communities in the Bar Council of India and State Bar Councils. The petitioner urged recognition and addressed disproportionate representation, emphasizing the need for proportional representation in these councils for a more equitable legal profession.
