Justice, Constitution align when more women are on the bench... they bring fresh perspective
Hindustan Times Rajasthan|December 24, 2024
Justice BV Nagarathna spoke candidly on a range of issues, reflecting on the enduring legacy of her father, Justice ES Venkataramiah, and sharing her thoughts on her impending tenure as the first woman Chief Justice of India.
Utkarsh Anand

In a conversation with Utkarsh Anand, Justice Nagarathna delved into her judicial philosophy, the evolving role of women in the judiciary and the challenges faced by the justice system today.

Your impending tenure as the first woman Chief Justice of India is a historic milestone. How do you think your father's perspective on women in leadership might align with the strides you have made in breaking the glass ceiling?

Though he passed away in 1997, I think of him every day – both my parents. In moments of doubt, I always ask myself what my father would have done in the situation, and that becomes an important consideration for me.

With the distinction of being part of one of only two father-child duos to reach the position of Chief Justice of India, how do you reflect on this unique legacy, and what does it mean to you personally and professionally?

For me, it’s a privilege to have been born to Justice Venkataramiah, who was already a senior lawyer when I was born. I am very humbled by the legacy. This legacy keeps me going because I must uphold the standards he set. It’s all positive – nothing negative about it.
