It seems there might be a mix-up in your statement. Puneeta Arora is a notable Indian military officer, but she is not recognized as the first woman lawyer in India. The first woman lawyer in India was actually Cornelia Sorabji.

November 15, 1866, in Nairobi, Kenya (but of Indian-Parsi heritage).

She was the first woman to study law at Oxford University and the first woman in India to practice law.

• Career: Cornelia Sorabji became an advocate in the Calcutta High Court in 1899, making her the first woman to do so in British India.

1. Trailblazer for Women in Law: Cornelia Sorabji was a pioneer for women in the legal profession in India. She worked to bring justice to women and children in colonial India, particularly in the areas of inheritance and family law.
2. Worked with the British Government: Sorabji worked with the British administration, and she became known for her advocacy for women who were not allowed to represent themselves in courts due to the social norms of the time.
3. Published Works: She also wrote about her experiences and the struggles faced by Indian women, contributing to social reforms.

• Rank: Lieutenant General in the Indian Army.
• Notable Firsts: She was the first woman officer in the Indian Army to be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General, a highly prestigious position.
• Other Contributions: Puneeta Arora has held various leadership positions, including serving as the Director General of Medical Services (Army). Her achievements are significant in breaking barriers for women in the armed forces.

While both Cornelia Sorabji and Puneeta Arora are trailblazers, their contributions lie in different fields: one in law and the other in the military.
