NEW DELHI: West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has become a “law unto herself”, BJP said Sunday, claiming that her allegation that the party was using President Droupadi Murmu for political reasons stemmed from a guilty conscience. “It is shameful and nonsense to comment that we are using the President,” BJP’s Ravi Shankar Prasad said, emphasising that there was nothing political about the Santhal conference Murmu was attending in West Bengal, which sparked the controversy.Mamata now fears that Santhals are angry over the way she treated the President and the way the tribal event was organised, and this is behind her allegations, he said.He said the CM should stop talking about saving the Constitution if she “cannot respect” the President of the country. “Under Mamata Banerjee’s rule, only ‘ghuspaithiye’ (infiltrators) are welcomed.

NEW DELHI: In a startling disclosure on International Women’s Day, former CJI NV Ramana on Sunday said the govt either lacked intent or determination towards achieving gender parity in constitutional courts, even though there was a healthy 40% representation by women among trial court judges.Speaking at a question-answer session during the first national conference of ‘Indian Women in Law’ at SC, Justice Ramana – who faced numerous pulls and pressures during his tenure as CJI from April 2021 to Aug 2022 – said, “The govt always showed a causal attitude in appointments of women (as judges of SC and high courts).”During his tenure as head of the collegium, three women judges – Justices Hima Kohli, Bela M Trivedi and BV Nagarathna – took oath on Aug 31, 2021, and created history.

Justice Nagarathna will become the first woman CJI on Sept 24 next year. Speaking in her presence, the former CJI said there are two future CJIs in this gathering (referring to Justice Nagarathna and and her successor Justice PS Narasimha) and hoped that during their tenure at least 7-8 women judges will be appointed to SC. Justice Nagarathna, who will retire on Oct 29, 2027, assured Justice Ramana that she would try her best to get more women judges to the top court.Explaining what he meant by lack of intent on the govt’s part, Justice Ramana said though successive law ministers had routinely requested high court chief justices to recommend names of women advocates and judicial officers for appointment as HC judges, “the govt has never strongly insisted on effective representation of women in each and every recommendation.”Justice Ramana said there is a healthy 40% representation of women among judicial officers. There are only 116 women HC judges among a sanctioned strength of 1,122 and only one woman judge in SC, which has a sanctioned strength of 34 judges.He said it would be unfair to lay the blame entirely at the govt’s door for the skewed representation of women in the judiciary. “The judiciary must respond with sincerity towards inclusivity as there is no dearth of talented women lawyers who can be HC judges,” Justice Ramana said.”Except few HC’s, most major metropolitan centres – there exists a large pool of highly competent women lawyers. It is very worrisome, as to why these numbers are not reflected in the judicial appointments,” he said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Good Relations With Govt Of India’: Iran’s Envoy To Delhi On Bilateral Ties Amid West Asia WarIndian Expat In UAE Opens Farmhouse For Tourists Stranded By Flight Disruptions Amid West Asia WarIran War: India Dragged In?

NEW DELHI: With just one out of 33 judges in SC and around 15% of judges in HCs being women, CJI Surya Kant, on International Women’s Day, admitted that their fair and equal participation in the judiciary remained an unfinished task and appealed to HC collegiums to consider elevation of more women to the bench.Of the total working strength of 781 judges in 25 HCs, the number of women judges is only 116. Over the years, 291 women judges had been appointed in HCs out of a total appointment of 5,161, which makes it a meagre 5.6%. No woman judge has been appointed to SC since Sept 2021.Speaking on “Half the Nation, Half the Bench” at an event on SC premises, the CJI said women judges do not bring a different standard of justice but they do bring in a distinct perspective, and diversity.

He said at present, two HCs have women chief justices, and with the elevation of Justice Lisa Gill, the number will rise to three. He mentioned Punjab and Haryana HC, which has 18 sitting women judges.”Every woman who takes a place on the bench sends a clear message to those who still face obstacle that your perseverance is not unseen and it is not in vain,” he said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Good Relations With Govt Of India’: Iran’s Envoy To Delhi On Bilateral Ties Amid West Asia WarIndian Expat In UAE Opens Farmhouse For Tourists Stranded By Flight Disruptions Amid West Asia WarIran War: India Dragged In?
