The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has expressed "grave concern" over inadequate women's representation in India's higher judiciary. The association highlighted that no woman judge has been appointed to the Supreme Court since 2021, leaving only one woman currently serving on the Bench. SCBA noted with "strong disappointment" that recent Supreme Court appointments excluded women from both the Bar and Bench. This development underscores ongoing gender disparity challenges in India's judicial system, where women remain significantly underrepresented at the highest levels despite constitutional commitments to equality. The Bar association's public statement reflects growing pressure on the judicial appointment system to address systemic gender imbalances and ensure diverse representation in the country's apex court.
