New Delhi/IBNS: Creating history, the Supreme Court Friday gave Senior Advocate status to 11 women lawyers in a single day.


In the court's history, only 12 women lawyers so far have been given the status of Senior Advocate.

Under the leadership of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, 56 lawyers including 11 women and 34 first-generation lawyers were given the status of Senior Advocate.

The 11 women lawyers are Shobha Gupta, Swarupama Chaturvedi, Liz Mathew, Karuna Nundy, Uttara Babbar, Haripriya Padmanabhan, Archana Pathak Dave, Shirin Khajuria, NS Nappinai, S Janani, and Nisha Bagchi.

The decision was taken in a full-court meeting of the Supreme Court on Friday.

Welcoming the decision to give the status of Senior Advocate to a large number of women lawyers, Additional Solicitor General and Senior Advocate Aishwarya Bhati said this is a historic step of the Supreme Court, and "truly a service to gender justice by recognising the merit of women lawyers, which shows respect for them."

The Supreme Court had until now given Senior Advocate status to only 14 women - including two retired judges.

In 2019, the Supreme Court had simultaneously given Senior Lawyer status to six women lawyers - Madhavi Dewan, Maneka Guruswamy, Anita Shenoy, Aparajita Singh, Aishwarya Bhati, and Priya Hingorani.
