Supreme Court directs reserving treasurer's post and 30% seats for women lawyers in Delhi tax bar associations.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday (January 22, 2025) directed reserving the treasurer's post and 30% seats for women lawyers in the executive committee of Delhi Sales Tax Bar Association and Delhi Tax Bar Association.
A bench of Justices Surya Kant, Dipankar Datta and Ujjal Bhuyan said last year's direction in the case of Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) and district bar associations for reserving seats for women lawyers should be followed in the tax bar associations in the national capital as well.
In another matter, the top court issued notice on a plea seeking to reserve 33% seats for women in Bangalore bar associations akin to the DHCBA.
On January 20, the top court directed that 33% of seats would be reserved for women lawyers in the election of the National Green Tribunal bar association.
On December 18 last year, the top court directed the reservation of three posts for women lawyers in the DHCBA election.
It also said in the district bar association elections, the post of treasurer plus 30% of other executive committee posts should stand reserved for women lawyers (including those already reserved for women).
On September 26 last year, the apex court directed the DHCBA to have the post of treasurer reserved for women, besides another post in the five-member office-bearer body of the association.
