This #InternationalWomensDay2022 let’s revisit the progressive judgments of the Indian Courts reaffirming the rights of the women and providing them better protection of the law.

#ICLU celebrates 21 judgments of the #SupremeCourt on this #WomensDay
1. The Apex Court providing for detailed guidelines for safety of women at workplace in Vishakha & Ors. v. State of Rajasthan & Ors. (1997) directed employers to provide a mechanism for redressal of grievances of employees. (1/2)
These guidelines were eventually formalised as legislation with the passing of the Sexual Harrasment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. (2/2)

#SupremeCourt hears a plea regarding permanent commission being denied to eligible women candidates

Justice DY Chandrachud: That fact that 217 women have been granted permanent commission out of 615 is a major feat. How do we like to evolve the matter now ? Image
Senior Advocate PS Patwalia: They say women have been considered today. 98 percent would have been considered in 2003. They have compared us to the last empanelled male officer.

Justice DY Chandrachud: How will you formulate your points?
Patwalia: These ladies will be rudderless at sea if they are not considered. Some of them are in middle of engineering courses. If they don't find a person fit for person for permanent commission in second or third ECR that has to be conveyed.

Justice Indu Malhotra: Centre wants time to file reply

Senior Adv Paramjit Patwalia: The declassified results have a problem my client who has completed 20 years has not been granted #PermanentCommission she will be relieved by next date
Justice DY Chandrachud: She will get pension anyhow

Patwalia: The second client is completing her engineering course from CME and that's a added advantage but now she has been denied permanent commission. This is very absurd..No-one has told us why PC was not granted
