For the first time in its history, the Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) executive committee elections, scheduled for Friday, will witness a watershed moment — women candidates contesting for posts reserved exclusively for them.

- Shruti Kakkar

NEW DELHI: As social media buzzes with campaign reels, women candidates running under the Supreme Court-mandated quota are promising real change.

The Supreme Court's December 19, 2024 order, by a bench led by justice Surya Kant, introduced reservations for three posts — treasurer, member executive (designated senior advocate), and member executive (25 years of standing) — on an experimental basis. The decision followed a plea by three women lawyers, Fozia Rehman, Aditi Chaudhary, and Shobha Gupta.

The women candidates vying for these positions are focusing on better facilities, inclusivity, and structural reforms.
