Supreme Court clarifies order on women reservation in Delhi District Bar Associations: 'No cap of 10 years experience on Treasurer post'

The court in the case clarified that the cap of 10 years-experience imposed on certain posts directed to be reserved for women lawyers is not applicable to the post of Treasurer (also directed to be so reserved in District Bar Associations).

The bench comprising of Justice Surya Kant and Justice N Kotiswar Singh was hearing the present matter.

The counsel, Senior Advocate Sonia Mathur submitted before the court that two interlocutory applications had been filed seeking clarification of the court's order wherein the court reserved posts for women lawyers in Delhi bar bodies, as certain aspects of the order were being misinterpreted by the Returning Officer.
