No place for derogatory language against women in courtrooms: CJI

Quick Summary:

Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud on Saturday said all forms of derogatory language, particularly against women, have no place in courts, noting that insensitive words can perpetuate stereotypes and may disproportionately affect women and marginalised communities.

Addressing a gathering at the inauguration of the North Goa District Courts Complex near Panaji, the CJI said, "We must actively work to dismantle all barriers to have truly democratic access to justice".

The CJI referred to complaints from women judicial officers about the use of derogatory language by some members of the administrative establishment towards women.
