Supreme Court Orders Major Reforms In State Bar Councils | Women Representation Made Mandatory

Описание: The Supreme Court has ordered significant reforms in the functioning of State Bar Councils, stressing the need to end what it described as the growing monopoly in representation. During the hearing on Bar Council elections, the Court observed that several State Bar Councils have effectively become "men's clubs" and said greater inclusivity is essential. The Court directed that every State Bar Council must co-opt two women members—one former High Court judge and one senior woman advocate with an established professional reputation. It also clarified that a woman candidate who loses the Bar Council election cannot be denied co-option solely on that basis. Additionally, the issue of calculating transferable votes for women candidates has been referred to Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia's High-Powered Committee for further examination. Watch this video to understand the Supreme Court's observations, the new directions issued, and what these reforms could mean for the future of legal representation in India.
