In a rare display of emotion in public, Supreme Court judge Justice BV Nagarathna fought back tears while remembering her parents and her mother's lifelong support for her father, former Chief Justice of India ES Venkataramiah.
Justice Nagarathna, who is in line to be the country's first women chief justice, was addressing a gathering at the National Law School of India University in Bengaluru. The prestigious law school is hosting a lecture to mark the birth centenary of Chief Justice Venkataramiah, who taught there following his retirement. Justice PS Narasimha, also a Supreme Court judge, addressed the memorial lecture at the law school.
Addressing the event, Justice Nagarathna said she considers it her good fortune that she found life's important lessons in her father's multifaceted personality. "I have always remained a student of law under his guidance. I have observed in him a strength of personality, which has only fortified my personal belief that fighting a good cause is most rewarding," she said.
