Bench clerk’s son now on SC bench as judge

28.08.2021

Justice C T Ravikumar, who was elevated to the Supreme Court from the Kerala HC, on Friday recalled how much he owed his parents, especially his father, who had been a bench clerk. Justice Ravikumar, who had been a judge of the high court since January 2009 and had practised as a lawyer in the HC since the late ’80s, became teary-eyed during his farewell speech when he remembered his late father K Devan. He also revealed that it was ex-CJI KG Balakrishnan who asked him to shift practice to Ernakulam from Mavelikkara.
