Rise in number of women judges nation-wide trend: CJI Chandrachud

Referring to the significant increase in the number of women judicial officers, “We wish to share some happy news. Here in the back row (in the courtroom), we have 75 judges from the civil judge junior division from Maharashtra. Out of a batch of 75 judges, 42 are women and 33 men.” “This is a trend happening across the country. There are more women judges in numbers,” the CJI added.
