Only 11 women Supreme Court judges in 71 years, three of them appointed in 2021 -Sumant Sen, Jasmin Nihalani and Vignesh Radhakrishnan

The share of women judges in High Courts was only 11% as of August 1, 2021 

Three of the nine new judges sworn into the Supreme Court (SC) of India on Tuesday, August 31 are women. The elevation of the three women judges is significant as the share of women has always remained poor in the judiciary. The first-ever woman judge in the SC was appointed in 1989, 39 years after the apex court came into existence. Since then, only 10 women, including those sworn in on Tuesday, have become judges in the apex court. Representation at the High Courts (HC) has been no better, with only 11% of the judges being women. The lower judiciary fares slightly better.
