Justice Revati Mohite Dere was sworn in as the first woman Chief Justice of the Meghalaya High Court, marking a historic milestone for the state’s judiciary. The oath-taking ceremony took place in Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, highlighting the constitutional importance of the event. Her appointment represents a significant step toward improving gender representation in higher judicial positions, especially in a matrilineal society where women’s leadership in constitutional roles has remained limited. The development strengthens judicial leadership in Northeast India and reflects ongoing efforts to promote inclusivity, diversity, and balanced representation within India’s judicial system.
