Abstract
The Indian judiciary is one of the most powerful institutions in the country, with the power to interpret laws, shape public policy, and uphold constitutional values. However, the representation of marginalized communities within the judiciary remains a pressing issue. This paper critically examines the judicial appointment process in India and its implications for the representation of Dalits, Adivasis, women, and other marginalized groups. Through a detailed analysis of the collegium system, historical underrepresentation, and the potential impacts of inclusive reforms, this paper argues that the lack of diversity within the judiciary impedes justice and undermines public trust. By proposing systemic changes and affirmative action, this paper seeks to ensure that the judiciary more accurately reflects the diverse population it serves.
