Chief Justice (CJI) DY Chandrachud said that the handbook "aims to assist judges and the legal community in identifying, understanding and combating stereotypes about women." "It contains a glossary of gender-unjust terms and suggests alternative words or phrases which may be used while drafting pleadings as well as orders and judgments," he added.
