520			_aDiversity is an inherent characteristic of any democratic nation. In a democratic nation like India, the judiciary does not reflect the country’s diversity. In India, the number of women judges in the Supreme Court and the State High Courts is negligible compared to the number of male judges. The main reason is that neither the government nor the judiciary is paying any special attention to this so that the number of women in the court can be increased. Women judges and lawyers face structural barriers such as gender stereotypes, discrimination, harassment, and inadequate institutional and structural support. Through critical examination of various feminist perspectives, we expose the systemic and implicit biases that lead to a disproportionately low number of female judges. In this article, an attempt has been made by the authors to tell what the total number of women is in the higher judiciary in India till now, especially in the State of Bihar, and how the number of women in the judiciary can be increased so that the ratio of women can increase. They should be equal to men. The authors have also tried to show how justice is affected due to insufficient women judges in the higher judiciary.- Reproduced http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/BJPA_Vol.%20XXI%20No.%201(S)%20Jan-June.%202024.pdf
