“Given that men and women are equally meritorious, in the absence of discrimination, one would assume that the proportion of women judges will remain the same from the lowest to the higher
tiers, for any given batch of judicial officers.” However, without information on the number of women graduating from law school, applying for judicial positions, and promotions over the
years, it is difficult to understand the reasons behind the gender imbalance in the lower judiciary or the changes in the gender composition over time. For the report, data on judges in the
lower judiciary was collected from websites of different courts across states, and the gender of the judges determined on the basis of their prefix, and by using Gender-API.com, a database
of names from across the world.
