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

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