: Justice Harun-Ul-Rasheed of the Kerala High Court on Tuesday called for appointment of more women judges at the Kerala High Court.
Replying to a reference given to the Judge, who is to retire on October 4, he said that out of 2,500 High Court lawyers around 600 were women; and 123 out of the 466 presiding officers in the subordinate and higher judiciary were women.
Therefore, it was very important to have more women judges at the High Court.
