Justice BV Nagarathna remembers father, former CJI ES Venkataramiah, at memorial lecture
Bengaluru: Supreme Court Justice BV Nagarathna paid tribute to her father, former Chief Justice of India (CJI) ES Venkataramiah, during the ‘Justice ES Venkataramiah Centennial Memorial Lecture’ organized by the National Law School of India University on Sunday.
Speaking at the event, Justice Nagarathna highlighted her father’s dedication to justice and calm demeanor. “He would raise his voice against injustice in court but remained composed while delivering justice,” she said. She noted how her father’s values and personality shaped her belief in standing for good causes, adding, “Even 27 years after his passing, his noble nature and calmness continue to guide us.”
Justice Nagarathna also acknowledged the role played by her mother, Padma, in supporting her father’s career. “Nothing about my father’s life is complete without mentioning my mother’s unwavering support. His accomplishments are as much hers as they are his,” she said, emotionally recalling her mother’s efforts.
Sharing a notable anecdote, she recounted her father’s journey with future President of India, R Venkataraman, when they met on a train to Nagpur for the All India Lawyers’ Conference in 1946. Decades later, in 1989, Venkataraman, as President of India, swore in ES Venkataramiah as the Chief Justice of India.
Justice ES Venkataramiah served as CJI from June 19, 1989, to December 17, 1989, and as a Supreme Court judge from March 8, 1979. Despite his brief tenure as Chief Justice, he left a significant impact on India’s legal system.
The event was attended by several dignitaries, including Supreme Court Justice PS Narasimha, former Punjab and Haryana High Court Chief Justice Mukul Mudgal, and senior members of the Karnataka High Court.
