In a conversation with SCO, Justice Nagarathna spoke about the diversity in the judiciary, access to justice in the digital age and more.

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

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.

While the number of woman judges at the SC has increased, the time they will spend on the bench is low.

Out of the eight women who have been appointed to the Supreme Court, only two have ever been inducted into the Collegium.
