The Supreme Court proposed the establishment of a permanent Vice-President post reserved exclusively for women in the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) beginning from the 2027-28 term. The move is aimed at improving women’s representation in legal institutions and encouraging greater participation in leadership roles within the legal profession. The court also retained the reservation of the Secretary post for women in the 2026-27 SCBA elections. These reforms are part of broader judicial efforts to strengthen gender inclusion, including reservations for women in bar associations and bar councils, ultimately paving the way for increased representation of women in senior legal positions.
