Supreme Court’s Justice (Retd) B. Sudershan Reddy, the Opposition’s candidate for the Vice-President election next month, has a long and illustrious legal career known for his progressive and socially-conscious approach to justice, access to education and judicial independence.

During his stint in the apex court from January 2007 to July 2011, while serving as the Chief Justice of the Gauhati High Court and working as a Judge of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, Justice Reddy paid special focus on access to education and judicial independence. Justice Reddy expressed strong disapproval of policies limiting access to higher education, particularly for disadvantaged groups.
