Its not only necessary to apply law but to understand impact: Delhi HC justice

Hindustan Times  

The Delhi high court bid farewell to justice Rekha Palli who reached superannuation on Friday. Before being elevated as a high court judge on May 15, 2017, justice Palli played an instrumental role in securing permanent commission for women in the armed forces by representing them before the Delhi high court. In 2010, the high court in a landmark verdict allowed permanent commission to women officers in the armed forces, granting them an opportunity to join and continue like their male counterparts. In February 2020, the Supreme Court upheld the high court’s verdict ruling that women officers who joined the Indian Army through short service commission are entitled to permanent commission even if they have more than 14 years of service. In February this year, a bench headed by her had overturned an arbitral award that had favoured the Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Limited in a $1.7 billion dispute with Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd over alleged extraction of gas from ONGCs adjoining fields in the Krishna Godavari basin, saying that the same was “patently illegal” and against the “public policy of India”.
