New Delhi: The Supreme Court will finally get a woman judge on Friday after a hiatus of nearly four years. Justice Gyansudha Mishra, Chief Justice of Jharkhand High Court, will take oath, bringing an end to the long dry spell for woman representation in the top court. The other two judges who will take oath prior to Justice Mishra on Friday are Justice H L Gokhale, CJ of Tamil Nadu HC, and Justice A R Dave, CJ of Bombay HC. This will take the number of Judges in the SC to 30. The SC has a sanctioned strength of 31 judges,including the CJI. The SC till date had three women judges Justices Fatima Beevi, Sujata Manohar and Ruma Pal, the last of whom retired in June 2002. Justice Mishra has the distinction of being the first woman advocate-on-record to be elevated to the Bench.
