That's what Make-Up artists' association has told the Supreme Court..
The Make-Up artists' association on Monday told the Supreme Court that it would issue "magnetic" identity cards to women, who have been granted membership of the association, in pursuance of a court order, in two months. Cine Costume Make-Up Artist & Hair Dressers Association (CCMUAHA), which was earlier rapped for not granting its membership to women, told a bench of justices Dipak Misra and Prafulla C Pant that the process of issuing magnetic ID cards may take two months.
"In the meantime the enrollment papers would be treated as the ID cards," the counsel for the CCMUAHA said. The court has now fixed the matter for further hearing in August. Earlier, the apex court had slammed the make-up artists body for not enrolling women despite its order observing whether the body feels it "rules some kind of empire and would not allow anyone to enter".
"We are constrained to repeat at the cost of repetition that the Cine Costume Make-Up Artist & Hair Dressers Association is bent upon not granting the membership adopting one excuse or the other. "Possibly they feel that they rule some kind of empire and they would not allow anyone to enter. This kind of obstinacy speaks eloquently about the attitude and we do not appreciate the said attitude of the office bearers of the Association and we are sure that wisdom will dawn on them and they will extend the benefit of membership to the petitioners within a week hence," the bench had said.
The apex court had cautioned the body saying, "It was harbouring a feeling that they intend to overreach the court which is inconceivable in law, and not appreciated." The court last November put an end to a 59-year-old practice in Bollywood that puts restrictions on women artists from pursuing the profession in the film industry, saying such "shocking" discrimination on the basis of gender is violative of constitutional values. Holding that harassment of women in the 21st century is "inconceivable and impermissible", the apex court had struck down the provision putting restriction on women make-up artists and hair dressers in the film industry.
