The Supreme Court of India has directed that all district bar associations in Karnataka reserve the position of Treasurer exclusively for women lawyers and allocate 30% of the seats in their Executive Committees or Governing Councils to women. The Supreme Court Bench comprising of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh passed the order on March 24, 2025.
This directive extends the Court’s earlier order from January 24, 2025, which mandated similar reservations for the Advocates’ Association Bengaluru (AAB). The AAB successfully implemented these measures in its elections, prompting the Supreme Court to apply the same standards to all district bar associations in Karnataka.
In a related development, the Karnataka High Court addressed a petition concerning the Tumakuru District Advocates Association. Justice M. Nagaprasanna emphasized the importance of equitable representation, stating that bar associations should not remain “bastions of males or old men’s clubs.” He highlighted that ensuring equal rights for women in these associations is both morally compelling and legally necessary.

This provision withdraws copyright from certain works once they are commercially reproduced, unless protected under the Designs Act. In Cryogas v. Inox, the Supreme Court attem...
