Justice BV Nagarthna to become first woman CJI?

Justice BV Nagarathna is in line to become the first woman Chief Justice of India in 2027.

Led by Chief Justice NV Ramana, the Supreme Court Collegium has recommended the names of nine judges for the elevation to the top court.

Justice BV Nagarathna, currently a judge with the Karnataka High Court can be the first woman Chief Justice of India in 2027. However, her tenure is likely to be a little over a month.

Justice Nagarathna started as a lawyer in Bengaluru and was appointed as an additional judge in the Karnataka HC in February 2008. She was made a permanent judge two years later.

Justice Nagarathna’s father, ES Venkataramiah, was the CJI for almost six months in 1989. If cleared by the Union government, justice Nagarathna will be the CJI for little over a month in 2027.
