Justice Pushpa V Ganediwala

Contentious verdicts and orders regarding women and sexuality have often been frowned on by the Supreme Court. Avoiding gender stereotypes and creating a progressive ecosystem is a challenge 

Justice Pushpa V Ganediwala, the additional judge of the Bombay High Court, whose ruling that skin-to-skin contact was necessary to invoke provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act in a case of the sexual assault of a minor had sparked an uproar, and was later rescinded by the Supreme Court, will not be made a permanent judge.
