Ramana has served within the Supreme Court of India since 2014 when he was promoted to the apex courtroom from Delhi High Court.According to him, tens of millions within the nation don’t have any entry to justice on account of poverty and illiteracy. Ramana just lately stated, “We are still a country with millions of people living without access to basic fundamental amenities of life, including access to justice. Although the reality is sad, the same should not demotivate us.”“Ever since we declared ourselves to be an independent nation, we found ourselves caught between the twin problems of ‘poverty’ and ‘access to justice’. Sadly, even after 74 years of Independence, we are still discussing the same issue,” stated justice Ramana, who can be the chief chairman of the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA).Justice Ramana was born in an agrarian household on August 27, 1957, in Ponnavaram village of the State of Andhra Pradesh, and is thought to be very obsessed with offering justice to the individuals on the backside of the society. He has an extended profession within the judiciary. He was a decide within the Andhra Pradesh excessive courtroom and in addition acted because the Chief Justice in the identical. He was elevated as Chief Justice of Delhi High Court in 2013 and promoted to Supreme Court of India in 2014.Just a few weeks earlier than his appointment because the CJI was introduced, Jagan Mohan Reddy, the CM of Andhra Pradesh, whose many foolhardy choices like a number of capital and alter within the medium of instruction at authorities colleges was blocked by the Andhra High Court, had written a letter towards Ramana’s alleged involvement in Amaravati land rip-off case.

India improved its rating solely by one level to succeed in 163 within the enforcement of contracts within the newest report whereas the general rating was 77. As per the Economic Survey, it’s ironic for a rustic that has lengthy idealised contract enforcement. As the Tulsidas Ramayana places it,“praan jayi par vachan na jayi,” which interprets to “one’s promise is worth more than one’s life,” the Indian judiciary wants an instantaneous reform within the type of contract enforcement and Justice Ramana can certainly carry it.As India goals to realize a double-digit compound annual progress fee, it can not afford to have greater than 3.5 crores pending instances. The nation can not name itself simply and even handed if it ranks 163rd within the enforcement of contracts. To turn out to be a 5 trillion greenback economic system by 2024, the nation wants to realize a 100 per cent clearance fee and clear the backlog of unproductive years and Justice Ramana is predicted to work in collaboration with the federal government on judicial reforms given his ardour for serving justice to the poor.
