Acting Chief Justice of Delhi High Court, Gita Mittal inaugurated Help Desks for prison inmates at Dwarka court complex.

The said facility is being provided to enable prison inmates to effectively communicate with their lawyers when they are waiting in lock-up inside court complex before production in the court.

In her inaugural address, Justice Gita Mittal highlighted that it was perhaps the first such initiative taken in the entire country and it was much needed to enable the prison inmates to have effective communication with their lawyers
