Supreme Court has rejected the public interest petition former minister DK Aruna’s that seeks court directions to the state government governments to induct women into cabinets as ministers. In her petition, she complained that as many as seven states-Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Punjab, Nagaland, Mizoram and Puduchery have no women ministers in the government. It is nothing but gender inequality. So, Advocate Sarvan Kumar representing DK Aruna appealed the court to direct those seven state government governments to induct women legislatures into the cabinets as ministers thus providing equal opportunity to women. But, the apex court dismissing her petition stated that it can give such directions to the state governments. But, it opined the state governments would have given equal opportunity to women also.
