SC QUESTIONS WOMAN LAWYER SEEKING BAR QUOTA
Hindustan Times Lucknow|December 17, 2024
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday raised eyebrows over a woman lawyer engaging a male advocate to argue her petition for a 33% reservation for women in Gujarat bar associations.

A bench of justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan questioned why the petitioner, advocate Meena A Jagtap, chose to "ride on the shoulder" of a male lawyer rather than arguing the case herself, given the nature of her plea advocating for representation of women in bar bodies.

"She wants 33% reservation in a bar body, but she chooses a male lawyer to argue for her. If she can ask for a right of representation in a bar body, we are sure she can represent herself and argue her case," the bench remarked.
