BENGALURU: Justice BV Nagarathna, who is set to become the first woman Chief Justice of India in 2027, is known for her calm demeanour and powerful words that pack off any hand trying to keep a finger on the scales of justice. “No child is born in this world without a father and a mother. A child has no role to play in his/her birth. Hence, the law should recognise. . . there may be illegitimate parents, but no illegitimate children,” Justice Nagarathna had thundered in an order she wrote. She was heading a division bench of the “We are not angry. But we are sad about what the other half (bar) has done to this institution,” Justice Nagarathna, then an additional judge of the high court, had told the members of the bar after advocates boycotted and forced the suspension of court proceedings on November 9, 2009, while protesting against the continuance of the then Chief Justice PD Dinakaran. Born on October 30, 1962, her choice of law for a career was natural. Her father Justice ES Venkataramaiah served as the 19th Chief Justice of India between June 19, 1989, and December 17, 1989. She was enrolled as an advocate on October 28, 1987, and practised in Bengaluru. On February 18, 2008, she was appointed additional judge of Karnataka HC and made a permanent judge on February 17, 2010.

“Our country India, or Bharat, is not just a piece in history or geography. It is a nation of over a billion people with over a billion dreams.

`When Unafraid of dissent, undeterred with her views – Justice Nagarathna has already dissented twice within the first two working days of 2023. In both of these cases the majority view prevailed with a 4:1 ratio. Which means that while the four other judges (Justices S Abdul Nazeer,BR Gavai, V Ramasubramanian and AS Bopanna) on the constitution bench were in complete agreement with each other, Justice Nagarathna was the only judge who begged to differ. In the first instance (the demonetisation verdict), her dissent was complete as she disagreed almost entirely with the majority judgment. In the other it was a partial dissent, with her disagreeing on a couple of crucial aspects, while agreeing with other conclusions. So what are these judgments? What did Nagarathna say? And why does her dissent matter? Widely lauded as being akin to Justice Khanna's powerful dissent in the ADM Jabalpur case (which had put riders on right to liberty), Justice Nagarathna's first dissent this year declares the demonetisation exercise of 2016 to have been well-intentioned, but unlawful. This is in complete contradiction to the The majority judgment held that the Government of India’s demonetisation notification of 2016 “doesnot suffer from any flaws in the decision ­making process”. However, Justice Nagarathna pointed out that the demonetisation of all series of currency notes at the instance of the government is far more serious than that of a particular series by the bank. Thus, such an exer...

Explained: Who is BV Nagarathna, the lone SC judge who called demonetisation ‘unlawful’? Justice BV Nagarathna was the sole judge to give a dissenting view on the Centre’s note-scrapping exercise in 2016. Calling demonetisation ‘unlawful and vitiated’, she questioned its legality. In line to be the Chief Justice of India in 2027, the 60-year-old isn’t afraid to voice her views On 16 November 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made the announcement of demonetising Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 currency notes. Now, six years since the mammoth exercise — which was praised by many and criticised by several, including the Opposition, the Supreme Court has backed the Narendra Modi decision in a “There has to be great restraint in matters of economic policy and the court cannot supplant the wisdom of the executive by a judicial review of its decision,” a five-judge Constitution bench of the apex court, headed by Justice S A Nazeer, said. Justices S Abdul Nazeer, B R Gavai, A S Bopanna, V Ramasubramanian found no flaw in the 8 November decision, saying it was taken after consultation between the RBI and the Union government. Bank employees shouldered worst impact of demonetisation, very few compensated: Unions Demonetisation: Delhi trade fair at Pragati Maidan sees smaller crowds, fewer sales However, Justice B V Nagarathna dissented from the majority judgment, saying the scrapping of the whole series of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes had to be done through a legislation and not thr...

Justice B.V. Nagarathna (58), a Karnataka High Court judge, is likely to be elevated to the top court of India as her name figures on the list of nine judges recommended by the Supreme Court Collegium.

Ramana, Justice Nagarathna will be one of the three women judges to be elevated, besides Justice Hima Kohli and Justice Bela Trivedi are the other two women judges on the list. Other judges recommended by the collegium include justices Abhay Shreeniwas Oka, Vikram Nath, J.K. Maheshwari, C.T. Ravikumar, M.M. Sundresh, and senior advocate and former additional solicitor general P.S. Narasimha. Interestingly, if elevated, Justice Nagarathna would be the second CJI in her family. Her father, E.S.

Her appointment will be a historic moment for the country's judiciary. She will be following in the footsteps of her father ES Venkataramiah, who was the Chief Justice of India between June 1989 and December 1989. One of the key comments by Justice Nagarathna made during her recent court hearings is: "India's patriarchal society doesn't know how to treat empowered women." Earlier this year, while hearing a case on mid-day meals, Justice Nagarathna said: "Nobody can study on a hungry stomach." In July, a division bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and Hanchate Sanjeevkumar, observed: "There may be illegitimate parents but there can never be illegitimate children."
