I quote Additional Solicitor General Of India Indira Jaising with approval and appreciation-
Judges must take responsibility for judgements as well as the remarks they make, the language they use, the view they hold as their conduct both on the bench and off it.
"It is the primary duty of all courts to eliminate all forms of discrimination, bias and prejudice against women. No amount of Fast Track Courts and Special Courts will deliver justice to women, if those who hold the high office of a Judge of the High Court hold and express such male chauvinistic views.
She suggested gender-sensitization programme for the judiciary and judges. I second this.
