Court Data

With hardly any senior women judges in India's High Courts, gender diversity at the Supreme Court will take a hit.

In the 50s, 60s, 70s, and most of the 80s, the Supreme Court had no women Judges. Since 1989, it has had 11.

Justice Ramasubramanian authored 102 judgements during his 3.75-year tenure at the SC.

Justice Ramasubramanian has authored judgements in 32.6% of the benches he was part of.

Regional diversity is one of the factors the Collegium considers in recommending judges to the Supreme Court.

A Judge elevated from the Bar serves longer than the expected average tenure of a Supreme Court Judge.

Only 2 out of the upcoming 8 Chief Justices will serve a tenure of more than 1 year.

Nearly half the sitting Judges of the SC will serve less than the average tenure.
