Justice BV Nagarathna stands a chance of becoming first woman Chief Justice of India.

The Supreme Court Collegium, in a meeting on Wednesday, 17 August, recommended elevation of nine people as judges of the apex court.

Of these nine, three are women and one a senior advocate.

Speculations pertaining to the new elevations were rife since Wednesday morning, with CJI Ramana subsequently criticising media reports claiming that the Supreme Court collegium had finalised the recommendations.
