JSC has given them 1/3 of the seats in the supreme court what do they want NOW.
I totally fail to see the relevance of the bolded part.
On their being given 1/3 of the seats by the JSC from the news it seems that among other things they are using Article 27 (8) of the Constitution which provides that:
Quote:8) In addition to the measures contemplated in clause (6), the State shall take legislative and other measures to implement the principle that not more than two-thirds of the members of elective or appointive bodies shall be of the same gender.
If that Article is applicable then the question should be whether 5 out of 7 is more than two-thirds and not if you can get an exact number for a third from 7.
