The Supreme Court Collegium has finally recommended Saurabh Kirpal's name to the Union Ministry of Law and Justice for judgeship, which could make him the first openly gay judge in India.

These stalwarts will be conferred with the prestigious award, to recognise their efforts.

A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar said that the restriction on enrolment of women contained in the advertisements was "neither reasonable nor rational and has to be quashed."

Earlier this month, the Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA) had sent a proposal to see if there were any job opportunities for them.
