“All my sisters and all of you have carved exceptions for the people of the society and the women of the society and for that matter the youth whether male or female all are waiting and looking at you as a role model.

“After coming back from Odisha last night, I gathered some information about the system in which we are working. All over the country… there are less than 30 per cent women in subordinate judiciary, 11.5 per cent women judges in high courts and four out of 33 women judges in the Supreme Court… (ie 11 or 12 per cent),” the CJI said.
He said that out of 17 lakh advocates in the country, only 15 per cent are women and only two per cent elected representatives in the State Bar Council are women.
“The other day I have told the President of Bar Council of India, Manan Kumar Mishra that what is there in your National Committee of Bar Council, which does not have a single woman member to represent it, needs to be reformed immediately,” he said.
CJI Raman further said that people often easily say that it is difficult to get 50 percent reservation because women face a lot of problems but this is not right.
“I agree that an uncomfortable environment, lack of infrastructure, crowded courtrooms, lack of toilets, lack of crches and lack of seating are some of the major issues which are not conducive to women lawyers in the system. Huh.” he said.
He said that there is a proposal of the Judicial Infrastructure Corporation by collecting information about the current situation in the entire country, which is the need of the hour.
“In 6,000 courts across the country, 22 per cent of them do not have separate toilets (for women) and even women officers have to bear the brunt,” the CJI said. To be dealt with immediately and that is why I am proposing certain issues to the executive to take it up and fix it.”
With regard to the lawyers’ demand to open the apex court for physical hearings, which have been conducted virtually since the beginning of the pandemic, the CJI said that there is hope that it may resume after the Dussehra holiday.
“The problem is you know we have limited openings (both virtual and physical), but most advocates don’t like that, I don’t know why, but for whatever reason, especially senior lawyers have some reservations. But the youth and other lawyers are ready to come,” he said.
He said that Senior Advocate Vikas Singh, who is the President of Supreme Court Bar Association, has raised some issues regarding Hybrid Hearing SOP and it is being corrected and made more liberal.
“We can expect full opening of the courts but the problem is we don’t want to take any risk because of the medical advice and all of a sudden they can say there may be a third or fourth wave… so you expect that There are no waves and maybe after the Dussehra holiday, I think we can go for the physical hearing,” CJI Raman said.
