Supreme Court Extends Women's Reservation To NGT Delhi Bar Assn; Says BCD Enrolment Not Necessary To Vote In NGT Bar Elections

The Supreme Court clarified that its order on women lawyer reservations applies to the National Green Tribunal (NGT), and clarified that Delhi Bar Council (BCD) enrollment does not require voting. The clarification came after confusion regarding the implementation of the court's earlier order on reservations for women in legal professions. The decision ensures that women lawyers are afforded greater opportunities in environmental law sectors like the NGT. Furthermore, it confirms that enrollment with the BCD does not necessitate participation in voting processes, clarifying the legal procedures for female advocates seeking to practice in Delhi.
