SC refuses to hear pleas against 2023 Women Reservation Act
NEW DELHI, Jan 10 (PTI): The Supreme Court on Friday refused to examine pleas challenging the delimitation clause in the 2023 Nari Shakti Vandan Act which reserves one-third seats for women in Lok Sabha and state assemblies.
A bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and P B Varale was not inclined to entertain the petitions filed by one Jaya Thakur and the National Federation of Indian Women (NFIW) under Article 32 of the Constitution.
The bench pointed out Jaya Thakur’s petition challenged the bill, which had become the Act, whereas the NFIW challenged the delimitation clause of the law.
