आंकड़ों में
Upon the application of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), the Supreme Court issued an official notice regarding a new petition aimed at ensuring equal opportunities for women lawyers in the legal profession. The application demands adequate representation of women lawyers in state panels, minimum salary support, and crèche and psychological support to ensure their careers are not adversely affected, particularly in situations such as motherhood.
The petition emphasizes that gender inequality is a deep-rooted problem in the Indian judiciary, stating that not even once in its 75-year history has a woman served as the Chief Justice. Furthermore, the fact that no woman has been appointed as the Attorney General or Solicitor General in the post-independence period is presented as a clear indicator of inequality in the higher judiciary.
The results of the national survey conducted by the SCBA reveal that women lawyers face systemic discrimination in professional networking opportunities and government panel appointments. The majority supports the implementation of mandatory quota policies for women in higher judicial bodies and state panels.
