Justice Meenakshi Madan Rai (born 12 July 1964) is an Indian judge of the Sikkim High Court. She has also served as Acting Chief Justice of that High Court.[1] Since there is only one woman judge in the High Court after the retirement of Justice Bela Trivedi, chances are she may get nominated to be the next woman Supreme Court judge.[2] If selected, she would also be the first judge to represent Sikkim High Court.[2]
