New Delhi:
Justice BV Nagarathna will be the first woman to become the Chief Justice of India in 2027.
Led by Chief Justice NV Ramana, the Supreme Court collegium has recommended the name of nine judges for the elevation to the top court.
Justice BV Nagarathna, who is presently a judge with the Karnataka High Court, has also been recommended by the collegium.
Justice Hima Kohi and Justice Bela Trivedi are the other two women judges in the list of recommendations.
There have been demands for India to have a woman Chief Justice.
Ahead of his retirement, former Chief Justice of India SA Bobde had said that “the time has come for India to have a woman Chief Justice”.
“We have the interest of women in our minds, and we are implementing it best. There is no attitude change in us. The only thing is we have to get good candidates,” he had said in April.
Justice Nagarathna was appointed as an Additional Judge of the High Court of Karnataka in 2008 and as a permanent judge nearly two years later.
