The CJI said that both women and men are coming in large numbers to the judicial fraternity in many States … [Women] have outstripped in terms of the number of men coming into then judicial fraternity, the judicial service.

I do believe that this is the sign of the times when judicial services will be enriched by the presence of what constitutes a very rich, and more than half our society today … So I do believe that the future in our profession belongs to the women.

The CJI spoke in the same while speaking at the inaugural function of a new building of the Andhra Pradesh Judicial Academy.

The CJI while anddress the audience said that it is  the failing of the profession that most district courts still did not have usable washrooms or sanitary-napkin dispensers for women. 

CJI was very delighted to inform the audience that among the young judicial recruits in the State’s Judicial Academy, men and women were in equal numbers.

The CJI opined that Legal profession is one of inclusion and judicial education was about imparting constitutional values as much as technical knowledge of the law.

CJI also touched the matter as to how the black and white dress code in the profession represented the contrast between truth and untruth, just and unjust. 

He in a very serious manner explained that the cases often involved adjudication between what was right and more right, between two wrongs, or even a balance between right and wrong.
