The father and daughter were both at the court working on separate cases when their paths crossed.
Her father, Sukhdev Garcha, had previously used Twitter to express pride in his daughter’s achievements. He reposted a childhood image of Simran next to a picture of her call to the bar, commenting: “Well from the moment you could speak, you always said “I want to be like my dad”. Really proud of you Simran, you have fulfilled your dream.”
