Justice Ramasubramanian was elevated as Chief Justice of Himachal Pradesh High Court on June 19, 2019.

Justice V.Ramasubramanian

Chennai: Justice V.Ramasubramanian of Tamil Nadu will be swearing in as a Judge of the Supreme Court on September 23. Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi will administer the oath of office to him at the First Court hall of the Supreme Court.

Justice Ramasubramanian was elevated as Chief Justice of Himachal Pradesh High Court on June 19, 2019. He now got elevated to the Apex Court in quick time considering his huge efficiency and much-repeated humane handling of sensitive cases.

Born on June 30, 1958, Justice Ramasubramanian, who is hailing from Mannargudi, did his schooling in Hindu High School at Triplicane. He completed his degree in Vivekananda College and did his law in Madras law college. He enrolled as an advocate on February 16, 1983. He was appointed as a judge of the High Court of Judicature of Madras on July 31, 2006. He was transferred on his own request to Hyderabad High Court on April 27, 2016.

Justice Ramasubramanian delivered several landmark judgments. 

To quote a few :

 1) The decision rendered in Consim Info (p) Ltd Vs Google, was hailed as the first decision in India on the question of infringement of trademark by an internet search engine through its adword policy. This decision was hailed by IPR experts as an encyclopedia on the legal issues involved. 2) The decision in Rajshree Sugars Vs Axis Bank, was the first decision in India on the question of validity of the contract of derivatives (which multinational banks came up with, after the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the US in 2008). 3) In Colgate Palmolive Vs Anchor Tooth Paste, the ratio that companies selling consumer products are entitled to indulge in puffery without denigrating the products of others, which principle held the field for over 150 years, was completely overturned by him. For the first time, this decision pointed out that consumer interest is of paramount importance and hence companies are responsible for any misleading advertisements. 4) In Vandana Vs Srikkanth, the definition of “shares household” was expanded for the first time (despite the Supreme Court taking a narrow view in Batra Vs Batra) and this decision was hailed by all women’s organizations.

Justice Ramasubramanian has immense contribution to Tamil language. He has authored a book in Tamil on the principles of law and justice in Kamba Ramayana (Kambanil Sattamum Neethiyum). He wrote a series of articles under the caption “Beyond science” (Ariviyalukku Appaal) in a Tamil newspaper for 27 weeks. He also added new vocabulary to the language of Tamil by running a column in a Tamil newspaper under the caption “Sol Vettai” for 50 weeks on the same lines as Barbara Walraff ran a column for Atlantic Times under the caption “Word Court and Word Fugitives.” Many readers of the newspaper got involved in this exercise and one of them was actually serving a life sentence in Puzhal Prison. As a mark of recognition of the involvement of a life convict in this exercise, the judge got the life convict out on parole for the Book release function and made the life convict sit on the dais with him and receive the first copy of the book.

The computerization of the Madras high court and the Subordinate courts in Tamil Nadu gained momentum under his leadership. The selection of judges to the subordinate judiciary in Tamil Nadu was entrusted to him three times from the year 2012.

JAIPUR: The transport department in Rajasthan has issued a rather surprising directive to all its drivers. In an internal memo, it has asked all drivers of the government and private vehicles attached to the department to put up a photograph of their wife, children and themselves on the dashboard of their car. This, the administrators say, will prevent the drivers from indulging in rash driving.

The state transport minister Pratap Singh Kahcahariyawas informed that the logic behind the directive was that the “photographs of their family members would make the drivers remember that their kith and kin are waiting for them at home and hence, inspire them to drive more carefully.

A separate road safety cell remains in the department and though it is spending about 50 crores rupees every year on road safety, yet there is no decrease in road accidents. The state witnesses more than 10 thousand deaths in road accidents and as per orders issued by Deputy Transport Commissioner (Administration) Amrita Chaudhary, these photo frames were to given by the department and such family pictures had to be installed on the dashboard under the "Hamein Hai Intezaar (We are Waiting)” scheme so as to urge and inspire drivers from rash driving.

It is being said that the scheme will be implemented in other departments too, including roadways and motor garages, and as per Rajesh Yadav, secretary and commissioner (transport ).

"The file has been sent to the minister for approval,” said Yadav.

However, the strange reasoning has kicked off a row. The drivers are reportedly unhappy as the photographs of their family would be publicly exposed. However, the minister is not perturbed with the row and feels confident that all drivers shall be persuaded to join in since the intention is to ensure safety and security of their lives.

CHENNAI: The death of Subashri has not deterred cadres of political parties from attempting to please their leaders. On Friday, both the DMK and the BJP were found to have installed party flags in many parts of Chennai.

The flags, attached to iron poles, were fixed on roads, medians, and even in stormwater inlets. They had also encroached upon platforms, denying walking space for commuters.

Though both parties have avoided the usage of banners, what they probably did not know is that installation of such flags is also illegal.

The BJP cadre set up around 20 flags on the roads around Royapuram to celebrate Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday.

However, they did not have a valid permission from the Corporation.

On the Cemetery Road at Royapuram, BJP flags were found tied to lamp-posts, electric boxes, and even in front of the RSRM bus stop, causing disturbance to commuters.

Visitors at the RSRM Hospital, around which the flags were tied, said the party workers did so even while the traffic policemen were standing there, watching. BJP had organised a blood donation camp at the hospital.

“They came around 8 am to set up the flags. Two traffic police officials at the GA Road junction did not mind at all,’’ said Krishamurthy R, a vendor on the GA Road. Only recently Corporation had urged all to not to damage trees by tying anything to them.

BJP North Chennai president Krishnakumar said he was not aware of any flags on the roads. ‘’I did not attend the event and I don’t know about the flags.”

In Triplicane, DMK held a public meeting to honour winners of Karunanidhi award. Express witnessed about 100 flags placed on Mayor Chitti Babu Street. Tall hoardings with bulbs spiralling over pictures of Karunanidhi and DMK chief Stalin were set up too.

Meanwhile, in South Chennai, similar instances were observed. In Kodambakkam, hundreds of flags were set up on the Trust Puram main road to welcome BJP leader Pon Radhakrishnan.

When contacted, Corporation officials said neither parties had sought a permit to set up flags. The official did not say anything about taking action against violators.
