75 years and 276 judges later, the number of women at the top court remains a shocking low of 4 percent

Why aren’t we talking about reservations in the higher judiciary for women and members of marginalised communities?

DESK BRIEF: Recent Collegium recommendations show a renewed attention towards ensuring regional and gender diversity in Indian courts.

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.

We look at gender representation in the judiciary—High Courts, Supreme Court and the Collegium— in numbers.

Until date, only two all women benches in the Supreme Court.

As it currently stands, there are 4 Women Chief Justices in the High Courts of India.
