Justice N. Anand Venkatesh of the Madras High Court on Friday, April 26, 2024, criticised one of his own judgements in a civil suit, and said that it required reconsideration. “Evolution happens when you know that you have committed a mistake and you are willing to correct it,” he said.
Delivering a lecture organised jointly by the Madras Bar Association (MBA) Academy and Rakesh Law Foundation, instituted by senior advocate N.R. Elango in memory of his son who died in a road accident, the judge said, he had no hesitation in accepting his follies.
After his elevation as a judge of the High Court on June 4, 2018, he recalled having got the opportunity of sharing a Division Bench with Justice M.M. Sundresh (now a Supreme Court judge) who encouraged him and let him write many judgements for the Bench.
