Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns the legality of creating additional posts of District and Sessions Judges (Grade II) specifically to ensure that Family Courts and Mahila Courts are manned by women. The State of Andhra Pradesh issued an Office Memorandum sanctioning these posts following a request from the High Court. The primary legal issue involves the administrative and constitutional validity of creating specialized judicial posts to achieve gender-specific staffing in sensitive courts.
