Elevated to the Bench on October 25, 2013, she holds the distinction of having led the court’s fist all-women Full Bench (comprising three judges) with Justices Anita Sumanth and P.T. Asha in March 2020 to decide a case related to the applicability of the Employees State Insurance Act on unaided educational institutions.
She thanked incumbent Chief Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari, former Chief Justice Amareshwar Pratap Sahi, who gave her the opportunity to lead the all-women Full Bench, former Chief Justice Sanjay Prakash Kaul (now a Supreme Court judge) with whom she delivered a verdict against banning Tamil novel Madhorubagan in 2016, former Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee, the sitting judges of the court and her senior lawyer T.R. Rajagopalan.
