In a first, four women set to head Indian high courts

Four Indian high courts are set to have women chief justices for the first time. This follows the appointment of Justice Meenakshi M Rai as the chief justice of the Patna High Court. With her appointment, Indian high courts will have four serving women chief justices simultaneously, joining Justice Sunita Agarwal at the Gujarat High Court, Justice Revati Mohite Dere at the Meghalaya High Court, and Justice Lisa Gill at the Andhra Pradesh High Court. This marks a milestone in increasing women's representation in the higher judiciary.
