"Pathetic": Supreme Court on conduct of Delhi bar over reservation for women lawyers

The Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) criticized the Supreme Court’s conduct regarding the reservation for women lawyers. The DHCBA expressed disappointment over the Supreme Court’s handling of the proposal to reserve 50% of seats for women in the Delhi High Court Bar Association’s executive committee. The proposal was rejected during a general body meeting, leading to widespread criticism. The DHCBA highlighted the need for greater representation of women in the legal profession and called for reforms to ensure gender equality. The Supreme Court’s reluctance to support the reservation proposal was deemed “pathetic” by the DHCBA, which urged the judiciary to take proactive steps to promote gender diversity and inclusion within the legal community.
