SC: Why do babus' wives hold ex officio posts in societies?

IndiaTimes Monday, 2 December 2024
Supreme Court criticizes bureaucrats' wives holding posts in societies within their husbands' administrative regions, dubbing it a colonial practice. A case from Bulandshahr where the district magistrate's wife was traditionally made Zila Mahila Samiti president led to amendments curbing this practice. The court urges a model bylaw to prevent ex-official positions for family members of administrative authorities.
