The President said that today women-led development is being emphasised. She stated that like in other fields, women’s participation should increase in the judiciary also. She noted that Odisha Judicial Service currently has 48 per cent, female officers. She expressed confidence that the number of female officers will increase in the coming days, said the release.

She expressed confidence that modern amenities in the court complex will help in the smooth functioning of the judicial fraternity.
