Supreme Court takes up suggestions seeking sweeping reforms in SCBA elections, including reservation for members with disabilities, 50% relaxation in eligibility norms, rotational representation for women, and inclusion of gender neutrality and ability inclusion as core objectives of the Bar Association
#SupremeCourt #SCBA #BarReforms

CJI Surya Kant: Please give all the suggestions to Adv Pragya Baghel.

CJI to Adv Sneha Kalita: As a woman member, as an AoR and as someone seeking empowerment.

Sr Adv Vijay Hansaria: Suggestion by Ms Kalita on reservation for differently abled is praiseworthy

CJI: yes we will make sure that and we are under an obligation to create the infrastructure for the same.

Adv Kalita: 76 years has passed and we still do not have a woman present of the Supreme Court Bar
. I am stressing on the point of rotational representation

Another woman lawyer: no no that cannot be. It has to be on merit.

CJI: environment created should not look like one is completely dependant for the post. Everytime one cannot depend on reservation
