# Kerala showed path to women-led development: Meghwal 2026-11-01T10:26:13+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Union Minister of State Arjun Ram Meghwal said on Sunday, 1 November, that the people of Keralam have shown the country the path towards women-led development. Speaking at the platinum jubilee celebrations of the Kerala High Court in Kochi, Meghwal highlighted the contributions of Justice Anna Chandy, India's first woman High Court judge, and Justice M Fathima Beevi, the first woman judge of the Supreme Court. Meghwal, the Union Minister of State for Law and Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, described the High Court's 70-year journey as 'interesting', saying it had upheld the principles of women's empowerment and women-led development. He said Justice Chandy and Justice Beevi demonstrated that empowering women was key to achieving sustainable development. Kerala High Court Chief Justice Soumen Sen said the institution's history reflected the pioneering achievements of those who broke barriers related to gender and representation in the judiciary. He also noted Justice K G Balakrishnan's elevation as the first Chief Justice of India from Keralam marked a milestone in the pursuit of a more inclusive judiciary. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both outlets carried identical PTI wire copy without editorial alteration, making this a case of uniform straight reporting.
