Ludhiana girl Abhidha Gupta tops HCS (Judicial) Exam
Ludhiana’s Abhidha Gupta has made the city proud by securing the top position in the Haryana Civil Services (Judicial) Examination. She has secured 638 marks out of 1,100 in the written exam and interview.
Born and brought up in Ludhiana, Abhidha has continued the legal legacy of her family. Her paternal grandfather, CD Gupta, served as an Additional Sessions Judge in Ludhiana. His maternal uncle Devinder Gupta is at present serving as an Additional Sessions Judge in the state.
Abhidha credits her success to the unwavering support of her family. Her mother Monika Gupta, who serves as an Additional District Attorney, and her father Rinkesh Gupta have been pillars of strength throughout her journey.
“This achievement is not just mine, it belongs to my family. The values and discipline instilled in me by my grandfather and the unwavering support of my parents have been my guiding light. I dedicate this success to them and to the legal community that has always been a part of my life”, she said.
In another achievement, practising city lawyer Eklavya Vikram Gaur, another successful candidate, followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, BK Gaur, who retired as Additional Sessions Judge in Ludhiana. He bagged fifth position in the exam. Known for his stellar reputation within the legal fraternity, Gaur’s legacy lives on through Eklavya. Eklavya’s father, Vikram Gaur, currently holds the prestigious position of Principal Chief Commissioner of the Income Tax in Ludhiana.
“Carrying forward the legacy of my grandfather is an honor and a responsibility I cherish deeply. His integrity and dedication to law have always inspired me and I hope to live up to the reputation he built. My family’s support has been my foundation and I am grateful for their belief in me,” he said.
The legal community has congratulated both newly selected judicial officers. District Bar Association president and vice-chairman of the Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana Chetan Verma, along with Bar Council member Harish Rai Dhanda and former DBA presidents KR Sikri, Naval Kishore Chhibber, Parupkar Singh Ghumman and Jagmohan Warraich extended best wishes to them.
