💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has ordered the National Green Tribunal to conduct its bar body election by March 31, with at least 33% seats reserved for women lawyers. The court had previously mandated similar reservations for the Delhi High Court Bar Association. The top court has also exempted lawyers from providing an undertaking to the Bar Council of Delhi for voting in the NGT Bar Association election. This directive follows a six-year absence of bar body elections in the NGT.
