==== Criticism in Times of India report ====
On 17 May 2016, [[The Times of India]] published an article reporting that a litigant had written to the Chief Justice of India and other judges of the Supreme Court, complaining that Justice Mittal's disposal of cases was slow and constrained by her involvement in administrative work, as a result of which she allegedly did not sit in court for sufficient time to hear matters, and that this had personally affected the litigant.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|date=May 17, 2016|first=Abhinav|last=Garg|title=Litigant complains to CJI about 'tardy disposal' by HC judge|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Litigant-complains-to-CJI-about-tardy-disposal-by-HC-judge/articleshow/52300460.cms|access-date=2020-06-25|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref> The Times of India reported that they had verified the numbers presented by the litigant and confirmed them.<ref name=":2" /> Justice Mittal's office responded, indicating that the litigant had no pending cases in her court.<ref name=":2" /> The report was widely criticised by members of the Bar.

==== Jurisprudence at the Delhi High Court ====
Mittal wrote a number of significant judgments as a judge at the Delhi High Court, many of which concern the conditions of service and recruitment in military and para-military forces in India. In 2011, along with Justice R. Midha she passed a significant ruling concerning the rights of transgender individuals, holding that a woman with a congenital hormonal anomaly had been unfairly discriminated against when she was prohibited from joining the [[Sashastra Seema Bal]] (a border patrol organisation) as a female constable.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Faizan Siddiqui vs. Sashastra Seema Bal - South Asian Translaw Database - Congenital Anomaly|url=https://translaw.clpr.org.in/case-law/faizan-siddiqui-vs-sashastra-seema-bal-congenital-anomaly/|access-date=2020-06-25|website=South Asian Translaw Database|language=en-US|archive-date=27 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200627001333/https://translaw.clpr.org.in/case-law/faizan-siddiqui-vs-sashastra-seema-bal-congenital-anomaly/|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2013, along with Justice [[Deepa Sharma (judge)|Deepa Sharma]], she held that colour-blindness could not be grounds for discrimination in the context of promotion in the [[Central Reserve Police Force]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=August 3, 2013|title=Colour blindness not an obstacle for promotion in CRPF: Delhi High Court|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/colour-blindness-not-an-obstacle-for-promotion-in-crpf-hc-172678-2013-08-03|access-date=2020-06-25|website=India Today|language=en}}</ref> In 2018, she held that advertisements prohibiting women from applying for recruitment to the [[Territorial Army (India)|Indian Territorial Army]] violated the Territorial Army Act, 1948, which allows men and women to apply.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Delhi High Court|date=5 January 2018|title=Kush Kalra v.

She has also served on the benches of several significant cases concerning political figures. In 2013, she held that Congress leader [[N. D. Tiwari|N.D. Tiwari]] could not be compelled to provide a blood sample against his will, in a paternity suit filed against him, although an adverse inference could be drawn from his refusal to provide the sample.<ref>{{Cite news|author=Staff Reporter|date=2011-09-24|title=Tiwari can't be forced to give blood sample: Court|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tiwari-cant-be-forced-to-give-blood-sample-court/article2480183.ece|access-date=2020-06-25|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> Her order was later reversed by a different High Court bench, which compelled him to provide a sample.<ref>{{Cite web|title=ND Tiwari asked to give blood sample|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2012/apr/27/nd-tiwari-asked-to-give-blood-sample-362715.html|access-date=2020-06-25|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref> However, in 2016, along with Justice IS Mehta, she laid down principles that courts should follow in hearing cases concerning pleas for court-ordered paternity tests.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Paternity Test Archives|url=https://www.scconline.com/blog/post/tag/paternity-test/|access-date=2020-06-25|website=SCC Blog|language=en-US}}</ref> In 2014, along with Justice J.R.

Mittal has also contributed to jurisprudence that focuses on constitutional rights. In 2013 she ruled that the Delhi High Court could not prohibit entry to persons who didn't have identity cards, noting that access to justice would be impeded by such a rule.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Judging Judges by the Length of their Judgments is a Bad Idea|url=https://thewire.in/law/judging-judges-by-the-length-of-their-judgment-is-a-bad-idea|access-date=2020-06-25|website=The Wire}}</ref> In August 2018, she and Justice C. Hari Shankar found that the provisions of the Bombay Prevention of Begging Act, 1959 were largely unconstitutional, and struck it down.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2018-08-09|title=Begging not an offence: Delhi High Court|work=The Economic Times|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/begging-not-an-offence-delhi-high-court/articleshow/65330867.cms?from=mdr|access-date=2020-06-25}}</ref>

==== Appointment of additional judges ====
{{importance section|date=June 2020}}
In 2019, Mittal wrote to the Supreme Court of India calling for the appointment of additional judges to handle the caseload at the Jammu and Kashmir High Court, noting that the Court was functioning at half its judicial capacity with only ten judges serving instead of the allocated seventeen.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|date=2019-10-01|title=Swamped with pleas, J&K HC at 50% strength, looks to SC help|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/swamped-with-pleas-jk-hc-at-50-strength-looks-to-sc-help-6043084/|access-date=2020-06-25|website=The Indian Express|language=en}}</ref> Justice Mittal forwarded seven names for the consideration of the Supreme Court collegium, which appoints judges to the High Courts in India.<ref name=":3" /> In April 2020, three Permanent Judges were appointed to the Court, bringing the total number of serving judges to thirteen.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-04-03|title=Three judicial officers appointed as judges at common High Court of J&K, Ladakh|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/jammu-kashmir-ladakh-hc-judges-appointment-6346238/|access-date=2020-06-25|website=The Indian Express|language=en}}</ref>

==== Creation of CAT Bench in Jammu and Kashmir ====
In May 2020, Mittal wrote to the Government of India in her capacity as Chief Justice of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court, calling for the establishment of a bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal in Jammu and Kashmir, to hear cases concerning the service conditions of officers in the Indian Administrative Service.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|date=2020-05-14|title=Chief Justice seeks CAT Benches at Srinagar, Jammu|url=https://www.greaterkashmir.com/news/front-page-2/chief-justice-seeks-cat-benches-at-srinagar-jammu/|access-date=2020-06-25|website=Greater Kashmir|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-05-14|title=JK HC chief justice writes to Union minister, seeks establishment of administrative tribunals|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/jk-hc-chief-justice-writes-to-union-minister-seeks-establishment-of-administrative-tribunals-6409231/|access-date=2020-06-25|website=The Indian Express|language=en}}</ref> In her letter she noted that the passing of the [[Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019|Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act 2019]] had resulted in the need to transfer a number of pending service matters from the High Court to such tribunals.<ref name=":4" /> The publication of her letter met with opposition from the Chairman of the Central Administrative Tribunal, Justice L.

==== Jurisprudence at the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir ====
On 25 October 2019, Mittal authored a significant judgment in ''Suhail Rashid Bhat v State of Jammu and Kashmir'', striking down the Jammu & Kashmir Prevention of Beggary Act, 1960, a law drawing from colonial legal principles to penalise poverty and public movement.<ref>{{Cite web|date=25 October 2019|title=Suhail Rashid Bhat v. State of Jammu and Kashmir|url=https://indiankanoon.org/doc/43580703/|access-date=25 June 2020|website=Indian Kanoon}}</ref> Along with Justice Rajesh Bindal, she held that the criminalisation of beggary violated constitutional principles and constituted a “disproportionate infringement of the right to meaningful life, dignity, privacy and liberty guaranteed under Article 21”.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Service|first=Tribune News|title=HC decriminalises begging|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/j-k/archive/hc-decriminalises-begging-852689|access-date=2020-06-25|website=Tribuneindia News Service|language=en}}</ref>
