New Delhi, January 01: The Supreme Court collegium seems to be zeroing in on Justice Rekha Manharlal Doshit as the next woman judge to be elevated to the apex court. Justice Rekha is the second senior most judge of the Gujarat High Court.
According to sources, though the name of Justice Gyan Sudha Mishra, Chief Justice of the Jharkhand High Court, was high on the list of four women judges being considered by the collegium, it is Rekha Manharlal Doshit who seems to set to make it.
The other two women judges in contention are Ranjana P Desai of Bombay High Court and T Meena Kumari of Andhra Pradesh High Court. Justice Gyan Sudha Mishra is the senior most among the four.
In its 59 years of history the Supreme Court has seen only three women judges.
