Justice Kant also participated in the 'Women's Day Walkathon', which started from the police post at Sukhna Lake and ended at the Open Hand Monument, approximately 2.5 km away.
Speaking to reporters after the event, Justice Kant said, "It was a good experience. Young lawyers and judges also participated. The purpose was to make people aware about women's rights. I am sure this walkathon must have contributed in that direction."
