The first woman advocate to be elevated as a Punjab and Haryana High Court judge, Justice Daya Chaudhary, today became the first woman to be appointed as the president of the Punjab State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (PSCDRC).

Justice Chaudhary was elevated as the High Court judge in December 2007 and retired upon attaining the age of superannuation on January 9. Justice Chaudhary was enrolled as an advocate with the Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana in 1987. She entered legal profession when women hardly accounted for one per cent in the profession in the state. At 40, she earned the distinction of being the first woman president of the Bar association not only in the Punjab and Haryana HC, but the entire country.
