Supreme Court elevates 11 Women to Senior Advocates in Revolutionary move
The Supreme Court in a revolutionary attempt ordained about 56 lawyers as senior advocates on Friday, January 19, 11 of them being women, outscoring the percentage of 20%. This was no less than a landmark decision in terms of gender empowerment.
The order came in as a heartfelt moment for many including women representatives such as Shobha Gupta, Swarupama Chaturvedi, Liz Mathew, Nisha Bagchi, Archana Pathak Dave etc. who have portrayed themselves efficiently in cases such as evolutionary judgments of Bilkis Bano, Karuna Nandy and Bhopal Gas Leak Tragedy. The decision was put forward by Chief Justice of India, D.Y. Chandrachud who appealed for a more rational organization of senior lawyers. Historical tracing back to 2019 when six women were awarded this status. The main aim of such a conclusion, according to statements, was to disclose prevailing gaps in the legal profession and design a system for advancement of women in judicial spheres.
Such notable expressions of understanding the importance of empowerment in general prove to be a boon for the constitutional country. Implementations such as these would in fact encourage women to speak and act without hesitation to provide justice for many waiting at the Gates of law.
