A Madras High Court order denying a Scheduled Caste certificate to a Christian woman who claimed to be a Hindu while applying for an upper division clerk job is just the latest in a number of pleas pending before the apex court that deal with the larger question on the constitutionality of using religion as a yardstick for Scheduled Caste quota
The apex court directed that a minimum of 1/3rd seats for women members must be reserved in the executive committee of the Supreme Court Bar Association from the 2024 elections. Taking a cue, the Delhi High Court also issued notice on a plea seeking reservation of 33 percent seats for women lawyers in various Bar associations in the national capital
