Delhi High Court Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal becomes the first woman from the filed of law and justice to be conferred the 'Nari Shakti Puraskar', India's highest civilian honour for women.
The Nari Shakti award is presented for exemplary service to the cause of upliftment of women.
The award will be presented to Justice Mittal in a private ceremony by the President at the Rashtrapati Bhavan here on International Women's Day tomorrow.
Justice Mittal, who took over as Acting Chief Justice after the retirement of Justice G Rohini in April last year, has introduced many welcome changes in the functioning of the Delhi High Court.
