Counsels for the petitioner further submitted that although a time frame has been fixed by the High Court in the connected writ petitions to hold elections to the Advocates&#8217; Association, Bengaluru, nevertheless, it would not preclude the Court from issuing necessary direction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Per contra<\/span>, the respondents contended that the orders and directions issued by the Supreme Court would stem from the Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574873\" target=\"_blank\">142<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\">Constitution<\/a> and such directions cannot be issued by the High Court. It was further submitted that unless the Bye-laws provide for such reservation, directions cannot be issued to the Association or the Election Officer to provide reservation to the women advocate members of the Association. It was submitted that the request made by the women advocates and members of the Association, can be considered immediately after the elections are held and such a proposal will be put forth in the Association and suitable amendments will be sought to in the Bye-laws enabling reservation to certain posts in the Managing Committee and the Governing Council.
