NEW DELHI, FEB 12 Four judges, including two who will retire later this month, were on Sunday appointed as chief justices of high courts. Justice Sonia Giridhar Gokani, senior-most judge of the Gujarat High Court, was appointed its chief justice. Once she takes oath, she will be the only woman chief justice of a high court.India has 25 high courts. Justice Gokani is drawn from the judicial service of Gujarat. “Besides being the seniormost judge, the appointment of Justice Gokani as Chief Justice will bring a sense of inclusion and facilitate a representation for judges drawn from the services in the office of Chief Justice,” the SC Collegium had said last week while recommending her name.
