HYDERABAD: Days after saying that India’s vast social and geographical diversity must find its reflection at all levels of the judiciary and that it is the Constitution that guides the judges, Chief Justice of India NV Ramana on Friday said the policy of inclusivity in the Indian judiciary meant taking all communities along with them.
Addressing the state-level judicial officers’ conference-2022 here, Justice Ramana said elevating women as judges alone is not inclusivity. “We have to elevate persons from all communities as judges,” he said, adding that is what he meant by inclusivity. After inaugurating the conference along with chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, the CJI said that he is aware of the pressures under which the judges function.
