Supreme Court Directs Funding for Women Advocates' Facilities in Lower Courts
The Supreme Court of India has directed all states and Union Territories to allocate funds for building dedicated bar rooms, washrooms, and other essential facilities for women advocates in district and taluk courts. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, emphasized that these amenities must be provided regardless of the number of women practicing, underscoring the importance of accessibility, inclusiveness, and safety. The court is scheduled to revisit the matter on December 2, following a petition by women lawyers seeking improved professional conditions.
