Among the other recipients were former home minister Sushilkumar Shinde, who was honoured for his contributions to fighting organised crime and terrorism, MK Razdan, editor-in-chief and CEO of Press Trust of India, for his services to journalism and for maintaining PTI's independence in reporting news objectively, Justice Dalveer Bhandari, judge, International Court of Justice, Peter Tomka, President of the International Court of Justice and Justice Gonzalo Moliner Tamborero, Chief Justice of Spain.
