0

Former Supreme Court Bar Association President Vikas Singh has written to the Chief Justice of India seeking to fill in one third of vacancies of judges in the High Courts and Supreme Court with women judges.

According to him, out of the 25 High Courts in the country, the High Courts of Patna, Uttarakhand, Tripura, Meghalaya and Manipur don’t have a single woman judge. There are totally only 103 women judges as against 670 male judges in the higher judiciary.
Now that the Women’s Representation Bill has been passed in the Parliament, reserving one third of the seats in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies for women, he suggested that the same system could be followed here to fill the high courts and Supreme Court with women judges.

0

The Union Cabinet cleared the Women’s Reservation Bill on Monday. The bill was introduced by the Congress party years ago and it seeks to reserve one-third of the total number of seats in state legislative assemblies and Parliament for women.

This bill also proposes to have reservation for SCs, STs and Anglo-Indians within the 33% quota.It was former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi who in 1989 who mooted this idea and introduced the Constitution Amendment Bill to provide one-third reservation for women in rural and urban local bodies. Though it was passed in the Lok Sabha, it did not get passed in the Rajya Sabha in September 1989.
Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh reacted to this development and said that it was a long standing demand of the Congress party to implement women’s reservation and that the Congress party welcomed this move and are awaiting details of the Bill.
