The Supreme Court proposed a permanent Vice-President post reserved for women in the Supreme Court Bar Association from the 2027-28 term to boost women in legal leadership.
The Supreme Court has proposed creating a permanent Vice-President post reserved only for women in the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), starting from the 2027-28 term. The aim is to improve women's representation in legal institutions.
Along with this, the court decided to keep the Secretary post reserved for women in the 2026-27 SCBA elections. The SCBA is the body that represents lawyers practising in the Supreme Court.
These steps are part of wider efforts to strengthen gender inclusion in the legal profession, including reservation for women in bar associations and bar councils. The goal is to encourage more women to take up leadership roles in law.
