Conflicts on the disgusting situation of diversity are often sought to assimilate the number of women judges in the district judiciary with ‘promising’ increase. The growth had last reported in a parliamentary answer, two years ago (December 2022), revealing that 35 percent of the judicial officers in the district courts were women.
In states such as Uttar Pradesh (32 percent), Bihar, (24 percent), and Gujarat (19 percent), women judges are below half the path. It is more than 50 percent of women judges in small states like Goa, Manipur, Mizoram, Sikkim and others.
The situation in the High Courts is even more severe, where appointments are made through the collegium system that recommends the name for the height of judges directly from the lower courts or directly bar.
To date, only 13 percent of the High Court judges are women with Gujarat High Court, one serving female Chief Justice. For 75 years of independence, there are only 11 women judges in the Supreme Court and not a single woman is the Chief Justice. The first woman CJI will be appointed in 2027, before she retires for a period of 36 days. Currently, among the 32 judges, there are only two women in the Supreme Court.
