Women Advocates Protest for 30% Quota in Bar Council Elections
Women lawyers in Hyderabad had a protest at the High Court.
They want 30% of the spots in the Bar Council elections to be reserved for women.
They say the Bar Council has not been fair and has not listened to their requests.
The protest was led by T Rajitha, who said the chairman of the Bar Council has not done anything to help.
Other women lawyers joined the protest and said they will keep fighting until they get what they want.
They will protest more if the Bar Council does not listen.
Women advocates protested at the Telangana High Court demanding 30% reservation in Bar Council elections scheduled for January 2026.
T Rajitha led the protest, criticizing the Bar Council for not implementing reservation policies for women.
Rajitha alleged that Bar Council chairman A Narasimha Reddy has not forwarded the reservation demand to the Bar Council of India.
