Supreme Court: legal profession and infrastructure
Facilities for women advocates and young lawyers
In Sarika Tyagi v. Union of India, a PIL by women advocates highlighting inadequate ladies’ bar rooms and early‑career financial hardships, the Supreme Court treated the issues as raising constitutional concerns about equality and access to the profession. Issuing notice, it suggested exploring mechanisms such as a “Young Lawyers’ Professional Assistance Fund” and made illustrative observations to catalyse stakeholder discussion on improving infrastructure and financial support for young and women lawyers.[6]
