Justice S.R. Bhat’s four year tenure falls short of the average tenure of a Supreme Court judge.

Justice S. Ravindra Bhat wrote a little more judgements than his peers who served for four years at the Supreme Court

Justice Bhat retires after a four-year tenure with 142 judgements to his name

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

With 68,000+ cases pending at the SC, many criticise it for its 6-7 week summer vacation. This break, however, might be crucial for its work

After a long time, the Court is abuzz with Constitution Bench activity, with hearings in 16 cases and Judgements in 13.

Data reveales that High Court judges who were advocates hold more Supreme Court positions than those from the subordinate judiciary.

43.6% of HC judges have been appointed from the subordinate judiciary and the remaining 56.4% were appointed directly from the Bar.

The judiciary appoints its own judges - a common source of conflict with the executive. But what does the process entail?

The Supreme Court bench has the highest number of women ever, maximum judges from the Bombay and Delhi High Courts and mostly Hindu judges.

Over the last 21 years, the average tenure of Supreme Court judges has increased by 282 days.

Out of 25, only one High Court has a woman Chief Justice as of 1st June, 2021.
