New Delhi: Amar Singh's arrest has just added to the list of high profile cases that Sangita Dhingra Sehgal has dealt with in her 27- year- long career.
Sehgal, who joined judicial services in 1984, has overseen cases that hogged headlines such as the hawala case, the match- fixing scandal and the Lajpat Nagar bomb blast. As she went further up the judicial ladder, she dealt with cases against Iftikhar Gilani and Reliance Ltd under the Official Secrets Act.
Known for her professionalism, the 53- year- old judge has heard both criminal as well as civil cases. She has also been the secretary of the Delhi Legal Services Authority at the Patiala House Court Complex.
There, she is remembered for working on building centres to explain basic and legal rights to lower income communities. As the secretary of the Press Council of India, she worked to preserve the media's freedom.
Dhingra started her career at a civil court. Currently a special judge at the Tis Hazari courts, she oversees cases under the Prevention of Corruption Act and is likely to hold the current post for the next two years.
Sehgal completed higher education at Chandigarh's Government College for Women and went on to do her MA in public administration from Panjab University and LLB from DU. She topped the Delhi Judicial Service examination in 1984.
