Does Brahminical tendency dominate while selecting HC judges?

Goa’s lawyers have made a major allegation while discussing independent high court for Goa. According to them, most of the legal luminaries promoted as high court judges belong to the upper caste.

The court thus is dominated by Brahminical tendency. But some lawyers and even journalists express a different viewpoint about this. 

There are altogether 13 people from legal fraternity who have been promoted to the level of high court judges till date from 1987.

This issue came up during a symposium organised by Goa committee of All India Lawyers’ Union this week on the independent high court for Goa.

While some urged to end this Brahminical hegemony, few others felt that it should not be looked at from casteist angle.

The arguments were primarily to push for independent high court.
