flag Supreme Court doubts preferential chambers for women lawyers, citing merit and gender parity in judiciary.

flag The Supreme Court expressed skepticism over a petition seeking preferential chamber allocation for women lawyers, noting that nearly 60% of Indian judicial officers are women appointed on merit. flag A bench led by Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi questioned the need for reservation, suggesting shared workspaces instead of individual chambers, and emphasized maintaining merit in judicial administration. flag The court did not mandate preferential allotment but acknowledged the need for fairness. flag It also dismissed a plea by singer-activist Neha Singh Rathore over social media remarks on the Pahalgam attack, directed the government to report on palliative care implementation, and issued notices on the Mullaperiyar dam’s safety, urging its decommissioning.
