Supreme Court Judge, Justice Abdul S. Nazeer on Wednesday highlighted the low representation of women in the Indian Judiciary, besides increasing the pay scale for junior lawyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attending his farewell function at the Supreme Court Bar Association, Justice Nazeer said the number of female Judicial Officers, lawyers and Judges was very less and that steps should be taken to increase their number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said all three organs of the state should work together to preach and practice equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking about the young members of the bar making appearance in his courtroom, he said their energy and competence was unparalleled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The younger generation in Judiciary should pursue their profession with utmost sincerity and take the baton of justice forward. Justice Nazeer further said that the young generation needed mentors to channelise energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He told the young lawyers that they should not let their past decide their future. “Take the plunge and accept the opportunity. Even if you fail, you will always learn something new,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Supreme Court Judge further pressed for increasing the pay scale of young lawyers, stating that a decent pay for juniors would bring more talented members to the profession, so that the Judiciary reaches the last cry of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
