Judicial Diversity Bill Introduced to Enhance Representation in Higher Judiciary

A new Judicial Diversity Bill was tabled to promote diversity in India's higher judiciary. The bill aims to address underrepresentation of women, SC/ST, OBC, and minorities in higher courts. It proposes mandatory diversity targets and transparent selection processes. Parliamentary discussions highlighted the current low diversity stats, with women comprising less than 12% of judges. The initiative aligns with constitutional mandates for inclusive justice delivery. Stakeholders including bar associations have welcomed the move while calling for implementation safeguards.
