Hearing a PIL for the re-introduction of the women바카라s reservation bill that sought to reserve 33 per cent seats for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies.
The Union government tabled the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam 바카라 better known as women's reservation bill 바카라 in Lok Sabha on Tuesday, the second day of the special session of Parliament. The bill, which has been in the works for 27 years, aims at enabling greater participation of women in policy-making at the state and national levels. It was only last month that the Supreme Court took up the matter, keen to know where the Centre and other political parties stand on the issue.
Hearing a PIL for the re-introduction of the women바카라s reservation bill that sought to reserve 33 per cent seats for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies. The petition was filed by the National Federation of Indian Women (NFIW).
The Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and SVN Bhatti chided Additional Solicitor General KM Nataraj, appearing for the Centre, for 바카라shying away바카라 from a reply to the PIL which was filed in 2021. The Centre바카라s counsel said the petitioner is seeking a mandamus to table the bill.
바카라That's separate...Then say you want to implement it, or not. Why haven바카라t you filed a reply? It's too important an issue to be thrown on the backburner. It concerns all of us,바카라 the bench said.
The court expressed its surprise at the reluctance of political parties to take a position on the issue. 바카라You should have filed a reply바카라.I was interested to know what political parties would say. None of them have come forward, except CPI (M).바카라
Women바카라s reservation bill sought to reserve one-third of all seats in Parliament and state assemblies for women was first introduced in the Parliament in 2008, although there have been several efforts to introduce women's reservation bill in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies since 1996. However there has been strong opposition from different political parties which have stalled its passage in the last three decades.
The bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha in 2010 but it was again stalled in the Lok Sabha.
