SC refuses to hear pleas against 2023 Women Reservation Act
Top court dismisses challenges to 2023 Nari Shakti Vandan Act, allowing for delimitation as a prerequisite for implementation.
Apex court refused to entertain petitions challenging the law providing 33% reservation to women, stating that the petitioners are free to approach the high court to contest the validity of the provision.
Bench headed by ‘Justice Bela Trivedi’said the petitions had become infructuous as the women’s reservation Bill had already been passed into law under the Constitution (One Hundred and Sixth Amendment) Act in September 2023.
