He said that promoting gender equality is the need of the hour and that we are living in a very transformative phase.
“When I joined the profession, there was only one woman judge. Today, we have nine. I am sure with passage of time, their ratio will get even better. Today in the Delhi Higher Judicial Services (DHJS), we have 66% males and around 33% females. But in the last few years, nearly 66% women have been recruited in the Delhi Judicial Services (DJS). Once women are at the base in such large numbers, more of them will come up and occupy the top position. The pool has widened and I think a collective like this [Delhi High Court Women Lawyers Forum] will be better for that.”
