Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The correct choice is: “Justice Gyan Sudha Mishra”

Up to the end of 2009 only three women had served on the Supreme Court: Justice M. Fathima Beevi (appointed 1989, the first woman judge), Justice Sujata V. Manohar (1994) and Justice Ruma Pal (2000). Justice Gyan Sudha Mishra, then Chief Justice of the Jharkhand High Court, was elevated to the Supreme Court only in April 2010, so she had not been a Supreme Court judge till 2009.
