Chief Justice of India Surya Kant urged High Courts to prioritise women in judicial appointments. Most courts agreed, amid low female representation, with only 116 of 813 High Court judges being women, highlighting gender imbalance in judiciary.
Justice Neranahalli Srinivasan Sanjay Gowda took oath as a judge of the Gujarat High Court, following his transfer from the Karnataka High Court. This move is part of the Supreme Court’s initiative to enhance diversity and inclusivity in the judiciary. Justice Gowda’s extensive legal experience is expected to benefit the Gujarat High Court.
