Justice Venkataramiah, who served as the 19th Chief Justice of India from June 19, 1989, until his retirement on December 17, 1989, commenced his legal journey as a lawyer in Bengaluru, later ascending to the bench of the Karnataka High Court and eventually becoming the country’s Chief Justice.

CJI Chandrachud highlighted Justice Venkataramiah’s significant contributions as an academic and teacher before his legal and judicial pursuits.
