Now she has reached the destination. Her parents also have supported her whole-heartedly. 

Naseera’s achievement has made her parents proud. Her father Aliabba says, “We, who have spent the whole life with difficulties, were dreaming that our children should achieve something in their life. My daughter Naseera has realized my dream.” 

The other two daughters of Aliabba and Nabisa are married. Their son is working in Qatar. Naseera completed her PUC in Bajegoli. Later she completed her LLB in 2010 from Vaikunta Baliga Law College in Udupi. 

After completion of LLB, she was getting law training with advocate Vijendra Kumar in Karkala. At present she has been working as an assistant with advocate G Muralidhar Bhat where she began in 2015. 

“I was involved in games and studies like any other child. But I always had an eye on my goal.” she says. 

Naseera had faced her last round of interview on June 13 for the position of judge.
