NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India (CJI) NV Ramana on Thursday strongly proposed reservation for girls in legal education to enrich the pool of talent saying data proves that such provision has yielded “encouraging results” in appointing women judicial officers at the district level.

The CJI said Telangana with 52 per cent, Assam with 46 per cent, Andhra Pradesh with 45 per cent, Odisha with 42 per cent and Rajasthan with 40 per cent women among judicial officers have done well with reservation for women.
