India’s new Attorney General, Senior Advocate R Venkataramani: Spotlight this week

Venkataramani has practiced in various legal branches, namely, Constitutional Law, indirect taxes, human rights law, civil and criminal law, consumer law, as well as service law. 

He has earlier represented the Central government and several state governments, universities and public sector undertakings in the Supreme Court and High Courts, and continues to represent the Supreme Court in matters concerning its employees.   

Mostly recently, he appeared in the hijab ban case on behalf of a teacher, who said that teachers simply wanted free interaction with students without any walls of separation and assertions of identity.

He submitted during the hearing,

I work in an environment where individual assertions of identity can be a hindrance. Only in their absence can you begin to respect them. Teachers’ hands will be tied.”
