On the first episode of the Bombay Bar Association Podcast, our guest is Justice Sujata Manohar. She was the first woman Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court and the Kerala High Court and only the second woman ever to be appointed as a judge of the Supreme Court of India. 



Justice Manohar takes us through the challenges she faced as one of the few women lawyers practising in the Bombay High Court when she joined the Bar in 1958; the pressure  of dealing with matters like riot commissions, reservations and human right abuses; and how the Vishaka Guidelines came to be - which are still relied upon today for dealing with harassment in the workplace.

The Bombay High Court has an illustrious history of over 160 years, and has produced some of India’s preeminent jurists. Their contributions to India’s legal landscape have long been documented by others, but rarely does one get an opportunity to peek into their lives and appreciate their insights in their own words.



The Bombay Bar Association brings you a show that celebrates this rich history. You’ll hear the stories that have shaped the lives of some of India’s most distinguished legal minds while understanding their approach to law and justice.
